Collective Soul singer goes off on a fan for repeatedly asking "Where's Ross?!" Um, he got kicked out of the band like 15 years ago for having an affair with the singer's wife?
"You want to know where Ross is? He's playing in a karaoke bar in south Atlanta because he's a PIECE OF SHIT. JESUS CHRIST."

WMAs at a Luke Bryan concert are probably way too prideful and freedom loving to sue for getting slapped.
