After their second performance on tour in Australia the garage-punk team known as the King Khan & BBQ show have apparently split. During said show, King Khan spilled wine on-stage and threw his guitar into the crowd after he was warned the previous night about throwing a rubber snake and letting audience members dance on the stage. Khan was subsequently kicked out of the festival and according to a the Daily Swarm he said, “returning to the backstage I opened the door to a scowling BBQ…. A HUGE SCREAMING MATCH ensued and so went the demise of the King Khan & BBQ show…. we agreed that this would be the last show ever. Wow…. what a way to die!!!!” [Exclaim]
