Former Runaways singer Cherie Currie has revealed how her career was almost ended by the members of Rush. The incident took place on February 10, 1977, at Detroit's legendary Cobo Hall, a stop on the Canadian trio's All The World's A Stage tour, when The Runaways were the support act. Currie tells the story on a new episode of The Metal Voice.
"We had been treated so well by Tom Petty who opened for us and Cheap Trick who opened for us but Rush sabotaged our set," says Currie. "We're at Detroit's Cobo Hall. It's a big venue. I saw them and they were throwing pieces of paper just like standard 8 by 10 paper onto the stage whipping it like you would a pizza. I was in 6-in platform boots and I had to jump off of Sandy West's drum Riser.
