AC/DC singer Brian Johnson was almost hit by a projectile when a cannon malfunctioned during their show in Las Vegas earlier this week.

Roadies rolled out the cannon’s for the final song, but one of the cannons fell onto a light and dropped a projectile just inches from Brian Johnson’s head.

Johnson was barely fazed by the incident, he stared at it for a few seconds, then turned around and then continued to sing “For Those About To Rock (We Salute You).

You can watch it all go down on stage below and read more about what happened at Ultimate Classic Rock.
