On the very first nite of the tour, the bands performed at “The Culture Room” in Ft. Lauderdale on Thursday March 7th 2024.

During the song “Never Enough” by L.A. Guns it is alleged from a fan, that they were holding their cell-phone when lead singer Phil Lewis grabbed their phone, and then kicked their hand and phone.

While this video appears to be vague and hard to see all of the details, the fan apparently was not pleased with what took place.

So much so, the following day, the fan actually went to the local Police and filed a report.

The video below shows that around the 3:30 mark, you can see Lewis lean down and there is some back n’ forth going on for a few seconds, then the singer’s leg extends towards the crowd.

According to the Ft. Lauderdale Police Department, and Incident Report (#342403042324-1) was taken by Primary Officer Cristina Beltrani (1847) about an incident that was dated March 7th 2024 at 22:00 (10:00pm).

It is noted as a Committed offense, not an Attempted offense according to the report, as there are multiple options for this charge.
