With the tragic fan attack that happened on two members of AKB48, a Japanese all-girl band, it triggered most to think on other popular celebrities who have experienced severe crazy fan attacks themselves.
The AKB48 all girl group were in a handshake event when a guy fan identified as Satoru Umeta lunged at two of the members and attacked them with a 50 cm saw.
Even the world renowned R&B diva Beyonce had her own share of such unexpected fan attacks especially in the middle of her concert performances. The ever controversial "Bangerz" singer Miley Cyrus also had a fan attack in Melbourne, Justin Bieber thrown heavily on stage with plastic bottles of mineral water, and Rihanna forced to hit an aggressive fan with a microphone among many others.
