HIM frontman VILLE VALO was almost forced to cancel his band's first major American tour after his ex-girlfriend beat him up. The 30-year-old rocker was given a black eye by his former partner and suffered a burst ear drum at the hands of the unnamed woman. He says, "She was a tough girl and she wasn't afraid to show it. She once punctured my ear-drum by screaming so loudly in my ear that it bled from the inside. If the hole in my ear had have been any bigger, I'd have had to go for surgery and our band would have missed their first major American tour. "Violence is always pretty bad but it doesn't get any worse than being beaten up by a girl, does it?"

AWWWWW, WHO'S THE BITCH THAT HURT VILLE? Sorry, I'm from the midwest (Indiana), I'm a bit calmer now than I was when I was younger, however, things like this make my blood BOIL! I've been in a few fights myself, mostly with men, I'm afraid. Never once, did I strike a guy, with the thought, Well, he wont hit me back, cause I'm a girl. Tell that bitch, if she wants 2 hit our man Ville, come find me & hit me like that. I GUARANTEE, I wont just stand there & take it. I'll bash the bitch, IN VILLE'S HONOR! WHAT A DUMB BITCH! SHE HAD THE MOST AWESOME MAN IN THE WORLD & BLEW IT!
