update: DETROIT--Detroit police are continuing their investigation into a melee that broke out during Everlast [ tickets ]'s Friday (2/2) show at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit after the rock singer made derogatory remarks about rapper Eminem [ tickets ] and his side project D-12.

Police said on Monday (2/5) that no arrests have been made in connection with the incident. Though fans and Detroit television reports initially identified the instigators as members of D-12, a spokesman at Interscope Records said Eminem and D-12 are on tour in Europe. He had no other comment regarding the violence that cut the show short.

Detroit Receiving Hospital initially reported that two people were seriously injured during the incident. However, St. Andrew's Hall officials said on Monday that only one person was hospitalized overnight. A St. Andrew's Hall security guard who sustained a head injury was released from the hospital on Saturday (2/3).

"It was a really unfortunate situation. I know that we're thankful that no one else was injured," said Susan Elmore, a publicist for SFX Entertainment, the promoters of the show.

"Tommy Boy Music, Deluxe Entertainment and Everlast regret the unfortunate circumstances of Friday night at Detroit's St. Andrews Hall," said a statement issued by Tommy Boy, Everlast's label, on Monday. "Everlast did not want to end his show abruptly, however to insure the audience's safety he felt it necessary to do so. Everlast appreciates the support and concern of his fans in Detroit."

The Detroit Police Department refused to release a police report on the incident on Monday. liveDaily has filed a Freedom of Information request with the city's law department to obtain the report.

The violence eruped on Friday night after Everlast finished the hip-hop song "Jump Around," by his former group House of Pain, and launched into a tirade about the snack product Pringles, and performers Limp Bizkit, Smash Mouth [ tickets ] and Detroit-born rapper Eminem. Pringles is using "Jump Around" in its current ad campaign.

"F--- Pringles. F--- anyone who wants to make money off of my music. ...Limp Bizkit [followed] my blueprint. I did that s---- back in '92. F--- them. Let them make all the money they want," he told the sold-out crowd of about 1,000. He then called Smash Mouth a bunch of "faggots" for covering "Jump Around" in concert, but then took back the remark saying he didn't want to offend homosexuals.

Everlast continued his rant, talking about "midgets" and insulting Eminem--with whom he has had an ongoing dispute in the press and through song lyrics--and the rapper's side project D-12. (The D-12 track "I Remember," the B-side to its debut single "S--- on You," contains a laundry list of insults aimed at Everlast.)

"D-12 is 12 people not six, you f---in' morons," Everlast said in an apparent reference to D-12's six-member lineup. "The mike is open if there's someone from Eminem's camp who is here." After no one took him up on the offer, he said, "Didn't think so."

Everlast played about 20 seconds of the next song before 12 to 15 men ran through the venue's front door and made their way past heavy security, according to Mike Danner of St. Andrew's Hall. Danner would not comment on if they were armed.

When three of the men made it on stage, Everlast grabbed his guitar, apparently in self-defense, then dropped it and ran off stage. Scuffles ensued between security and audience members on stage and on the floor. One of the men who had made it on stage broke away from security, grabbed the microphone and yelled, "Are you going to let this motherf----r come to Detroit [and disrespect Eminem]?" As he began to speak again, the power to the stage was cut. Enraged, the man grabbed the mike stand and began swinging it as a chair was thrown from the upper balcony.

The opening band, Dexter Freebish, had left the building before the incident occurred.
