On Sunday night, a guy who appeared to be just a fan rushed the stage during Zac Brown's concert. Luckily, the band had some strong security on hand in the form of Houston Texans defensive end JJ Watt. "Following a cover of Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge," a fan appeared to crash the stage only to be slammed by Houston Texans defensive end and Wisconsin native J.J. Watt, who Brown said was the band's special security," reported the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
During the band's set, a male in a white fedora hat, tee-shirt, and khaki shorts rushed onto center stage and began dancing while waving both of his arms. Watt, donning a pair of sunglasses lightly tackled the concertgoer down to the floor. After giving a hug to a band member, the football player escorted the fan off stage. The fan threw his hat to the audience and gleefully left the stage. He gave him a little nudge with his right hand to make sure he was gone.
The Zac Brown Band is an eight member American country band. Its members are Zac Brown, Coy Bowles, Clay Cook, Daniel de los Reyes, Matt Mangano, Jimmy De Martini, Chris Fryar, and John Driskell Hopkins. Their latest album is 'Jekyll + Hyde." Summerfest is "the world's largest music festival" which hosts over 800 bands and 900,000 fans in the course of eleven days in Milwaukee. Even though it now seems that the tackle was staged Watt is ready for football season. Of course, Watt is a tough guy, but don't let the sack records, and the tackling of a "fan" scare you, Watt has quite a big heart.
Watt told E! News earlier this year he's looking to settle down somewhat soon. "Five years from now, I hope to have a wife, and maybe some kids, and trying to continue to play at the highest level possible, but also being a great husband, father, and just trying to be the best person I can be," he said.
