Ultravox - Midge Ure assaulted onstage with a pie

Midge Ure from Ultravox was hit with a pie during the band's concert September 27th in London. The pie thrower jumped onstage during the performance of "Contact," and a testament to Ure's amazing professionalism, after getting hit by the pie Ure just toweled off and continued playing without missing a beat.  Watch video of the performance below (altercation took place ~ 3:50) as well as a short video of just the incident (via ElectronicMagUK):
