Jim Morrison was arrested on stage
Today in 1967, Jim Morrison, the iconic lead singer of The Doors, faced a dramatic incident when he was arrested on stage. The event occurred during a concert in New Haven, Connecticut. Morrison was in the middle of a performance when police intervened, leading to his arrest. This marked the first time a rock artist was arrested during a performance. The arrest was reportedly due to Morrison’s refusal to stop singing after being maced by police backstage earlier that evening. The incident added to Morrison’s rebellious image and became a notable moment in rock history, highlighting the tense relationship between the counterculture movement and authorities during the 1960s.
