JAKARTA - Fake concert promoters have apparently bilked Indonesian music fans out of an estimated US$60,000 (S$76,800) in ticket sales for a Motley Crue show that was never scheduled to happen.

More than 1,500 people had bought tickets for US$40 each by the time the scam was uncovered late last month, according to news website Tempo Interactive.

Band members quickly responded to the rumour as word spread through social media. On Twitter, drummer Tommy Lee called the fake concert the work of a "shady promoter".

Central Jakarta district police chief Lt Col Angesta Romano Yoyol said an investigation is ongoing but there are no suspects.

Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue) Leaps Into Crowd In Fury At Filming

By Yuda

Motely Crue singer Nikki Sixx was furious when he spotted a fan filming their show at Maryland's Outlaw Jam at the weekend, taking matters into his own hands and jumped into the crowd to confiscate it, as you can see in the clip below.

After completing "Saints Of Los Angeles", Sixx leaped off the stage to take the professional camera, with security guards removing the cameraman from the crowd and helping the singer back to the stage, according to Rock AAA.

"Taking care of f--king business!", shouted drummer Tommy Lee after the incident.

Presumably, the band were unhappy that someone may profit from a high-quality video of their performance.

It is not the first time a rock star has acted against someone in the crowd "illegally" taking their image. In 1991, Axl Rosefamously jumped into the crowd to take a regular still camera from a fan, before walking off stage and cancelling the show. As a result, dozens of fans were injured after dismay in the crowd led to a riot.
