According to Stereogum, Beal was performing at Le Guess Who? festival in the Netherlands when a homeless man began heckling the singer. Beal was apparently so annoyed that he kicked the man in the face.
"Because of a few bad apples, we all miss out on one more glorious, fantastic, lovely performance," Beal, who was homeless for a time, told the Utretch audience after the altercation (shown in the video below). "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."
NME reports that Beal was arrested after the concert, and later released without charge. Let this be a lesson to all you haters: Willis wears boots, and he will use them if he has to.

As a hip hop label owner from Chicago connected to most up and coming acts I can say i have never heard of this guy or seen anything about him in Chicago. No posters, music, flyers, club signs nothing..He is horrible though.

May 29 2012 at 5:49 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down ReplyNever heard of him. Just another ain't never been or a legend in his own mind.. Who needs someone who treats people who come to his concerts with such disdain? If you're going to "perform" in front of a crowd, you need to grow a thick skin. Not everyone is going to gush over you and tell you that your farts smell like roses.
