Willis Earl Beal Kicked A Guy In The Face

Soul singer in trouble after altercation with a homeless man.

What did you guys do with your weekend? Enjoy the sunshine? Drink a few cans in the park? Welp, Willis Earl Beal's wasn't so carefree. He got arrested in Utrecht, Netherlands, for allegedly kicking a homeless guy in the head.

The singer, who was performing at Le Guess Who? festival on Saturday evening, lost his shit and lashed out after one crowd member got a little too fresh. Somewhere along the line it was claimed that the guy was homeless, which makes WEB look much worse, but also begs the question: How did a homeless guy get a festival ticket? Is it that cheap in Holland?

WEB was arrested shortly afterwards. The clip below taken from the night, shows Beal cutting his set short and moaning about the fight, remonstrating:

"Because of a few bad apples, we all miss out on one more glorious, fantastic, lovely performance. I love you, and I even love the guy whose face I kicked in. I love him, too. He’s a good guy! He’s just drunk, a little."

Beal's reps have yet to comment on the incident.
