St Vincent has discussed a recent incident at a gig which saw her accidentally injuring a member of the security staff. Currently on tour in support of her 2014 self-titled LP, the musician – real name Annie Clark – suffered minor injuries following a fall from a speaker stack at the Tennessee Theater in Knoxville, Tennessee on May 31. Clark had climbed from the stage to the top speaker during one of her songs, suffering a fall, bringing a speaker down with her and on top of a security guard. Speaking at Toronto’s Luminato festival recently, where she was part of David Byrne’s’ ‘Contemporary Color’ collaborative performance, Clark said of the incident: “I tried to climb a speaker that I thought was tied down to the other speaker and was safe to climb. I looked at the security people like ‘this is cool, right? I’m gonna do this, I’m gonna climb up on top of this'”. She added: “There was a really cool security guard named Patrick who was there buttressing me, and I was halfway up the speaker, and I fell on the stage pretty hard and hit my head, and for a moment thought, ‘Oh God, Where am I?’ When I kind of came to, I hadn’t realised that the guy who was over there was the security guard.” “So I get up, and I’m looking, and I’m terrified, like almost in tears. ‘Where’s the guy? Where is he? Where did he go?’ And I’m thinking, ‘I just killed somebody’. It was so horrifying. It was really emotional and horrible, and luckily he was totally okay. None of us had concussions; he had a little cut on his eyebrow but it was so horrifying. It’s one thing to think, ‘I’ll get a bruise, I’ll get this or that,’ but it’s another to think that in a moment of spontaneity you could actually hurt someone.”
