dreamtrancesomeone in a community I moderate on greatestjournal posted this and I want to share it.
its one person's account so any/all disclaimers with that attached here:
these are not my words and I cannot vouch for her whether this happened or not.
nothing on google news yet but I'm not discounting anything.
EDIT: there is an article on CBC.ca here about it.

I went to the Sum 41/Simple Plan concert tonight and while everything started off well, it ended VERY badly.
I'm not gonna make a big long story out of this so that those that don't want to read the rest don't have to.
PIERRE GOT HIT IN THE EYE WITH A BOTTLE AND WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL.
This is not a joke. He walked offstage after it happened and everyone thought he'd be back out a few seconds later, but he started bleeding, began getting dizzy and then was taken to the Stratford hospital. He couldn't remember the lyrics to the songs, according to David.
Unlike Sum 41 who were, in all honesty, OFFENSIVE considering that there was a large population of children there, the boys of Simple Plan were the NICEST band I've ever seen on stage. They were genuinely happy to be there. The were watching their language, telling the crowd how much they loved being back in Canada and how proud they were to be Canadian because our reputation is very well-respected throughout the world. Pierre was in the happiest mood imaginable and for that to happen was, shocking, totally uncalled for and just ruined the night for EVERYONE involed, both onstage and off.
David, bless him, carried the band through one final song and was extremely classy about the whole thing although he was very adament that whoever did it was NOT in his good graces. Some, and these aren't exact quotes, of the things he said included:
"That wasn't very nice. I want to know who the motherfucker was that threw a bottle at MY lead singer."
"Whoever did it, the motherfucker should walk home. Go call your mommy and ask for a ride. You know what, fuck that, you can WALK all the way home."
But David being David, spent most of the time on the mike apologizing and keeping the crowd's spirits up.
They kept trying to see if he was okay to continue, pausing the 'background' playing completely to run back and check on him several times.
What I find most outrageous about the whole incident is that not two minutes before Pierre got hit, he kept someone that had thrown a bottle at his back from getting kicked out. Actually stopping the song to tell security not to pull him out.
For this to happend to one of the nicest frontmen in music is just beyond me.
My prayers and thoughts are with everyone who's close to Pierre tonight.
And for whoever threw the bottle, I hope you're happy because you fucked up a performance that was mind blowing and a night that was fanastic until you took aim. FUCK YOU.
