A spokesperson for Fall Out Boy’s management told MTV News, “A few kids jumped onstage with the band during the last song of the set. The band does not mind this, [because] they love when fans get more involved in the show. The security that was hired by the Sunshine [Theater] started aggressively throwing kids offstage. We have two security guards out with the band, [and] one of our guys told the Sunshine security to ease up on the kids. At that point, the Sunshine security started with our guy and shoved him, making first contact. Our guys retaliated against the house security to protect the Fall Out Boy fans and to defend themselves and the band.”
Pete himself later told MTV News, “When I watch the video, I know what I see: I see their dude push Charlie. … A lot of people were like, ‘Oh, it was just a security guy,’ but I’ve know Charlie since he was 16. … I’m not gonna let my friends fight alone. Nine times out of ten, that security guy would have kicked my ass because I’m not really into fighting. But you know, it was my friend.”
The owner of the Sunshine Theater said that bringing fans onstage was against the venue’s policy, so the band could’ve prevented the entire situation by following that rule.
