UPDATE: MGMT have responded to these reports.

According to reports, someone in Manchester, England r**eally hated MGMT's set at the Manchester Apollo on Sunday night. Ace Showbiz reports (via Metro) that the band's drummer, Will Berman, left the stage after a fan threw a "glass full of urine" onstage, hitting Berman in the chest.

According to Ace Showbiz, Berman refused to come back onstage after band leaders Andrew VanWyngarden and Benjamin Goldwasser "pleaded" for his return. The attack allegedly happened during "The Handshake", one of the band's last songs of the night, and VanWyngarden and Goldwasser had to ask the crowd what had happened when they noticed Berman's absence. They finished the set without percussion.

Reports of the incident seem kind of sketchy, though. Were you at the show? Email us at news@pitchfork.com if you have details.

If it did happen, this raises all sorts of questions. Did the audience member in question piss in the glass at some point during the show? How did the piss stay in the glass before it hit Berman? Did the glass have a lid or something? Really, if you're trying to soak a band member in piss, a water balloon would have to be an easier way to go, right?

That piss attack isn't the only bad news MGMT have received lately. Following the tepid reaction to this year's expansive, experimental sophomore album Congratulations, the band says that Columbia, their label, will give them less leeway when they're making their next album. Spinner points out this Daily Record article, in which VanWyngarden talks about how the next album might sound: "We're less anxious. We've been looking at relationships with the label during the recording process and it's quite different this time. They'll be more involved and not give us as much freedom."

VanWyngarden also claimed that the band members are in "much more positive mental states than when we wrote Congratulations."
