Taylor Momsen, the former Gossip Girl star and frontwoman of The Pretty Reckless, has once again found herself in a peculiar situation while touring with the iconic Australian rock band AC/DC. This time, it's a venomous spider bite that has landed her in the hospital, adding a new chapter to her tour diary.
Momsen's encounter with the spider occurred during the band's Power Up Tour in Latin America. In a now-famous Instagram post, she shared the story of the bite, describing it as a 'massive spider' taking a 'chunk out of' her leg. The spider's venom caused a significant reaction, prompting her to seek medical attention.
The singer's health scare comes with a history of bad luck when touring with AC/DC. Two years ago, she was bitten by a bat while performing in Seville, Spain. This incident, which occurred during her performance of 'Witches Burn', was caught on video and shared on social media. Momsen, in a calm and humorous manner, informed the crowd about the bat on her leg, only noticing it after the stage crew assisted her.
Despite these unusual occurrences, Momsen's determination to perform remains unwavering. After the spider bite, she expressed her hope to be back on stage soon, even though she had to spend the night in the hospital. Her positive attitude is evident in her Instagram posts, where she jokes about becoming 'Spider Woman' or 'Batgirl', adding a touch of humor to the situation.
The incident in Mexico City was the final date of AC/DC's Latin America tour. The Pretty Reckless were scheduled to perform at the festival circuit in the coming months before rejoining AC/DC for the North American leg of the tour in July. However, the hospitalisation raises questions about the band's performance in Mexico City and the potential impact on their tour schedule.
This is not the first time Momsen has faced health challenges while on tour. Her resilience and dedication to her craft are evident in her ability to navigate these unexpected obstacles. As the tour continues, fans will be eager to see how she handles these unique circumstances and whether she can maintain her energetic and entertaining presence on stage.
In my opinion, Taylor Momsen's experiences on tour with AC/DC showcase the unpredictable nature of the entertainment industry. Her ability to adapt and maintain a positive attitude in the face of these unusual incidents is commendable. It's a reminder that even in the world of rock and roll, life can throw unexpected twists and turns.
