Bring Me the Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes was struck by a phone thrown at him on-stage during a Monday night concert, with the singer revealing he has suffered a mild concussion from the hit.

MONDAY, Feb. 9, 2026 (HealthDay News) — The National Football League is asking inventors, engineers and researchers to help make football helmets safer, starting with the facemask. At a Super Bowl innovation event last week, the league announced a new HealthTECH Challenge focused on redesigning helmet facemasks to better protect players from head injuries.  The competition is open to startups, universities, engineers and companies with ideas for improving how facemasks handle impact on the field. “We’re trying to get this out through all the channels we typically do to try to engage, not necessarily the helmet industry alone, but engineers, engineering schools, people involved in material science and others,” Jeff Miller, the NFL’s executive vice president for player health and safety, said. “They might have different ideas around architecture, might have different idea around materials. Participate in this, make your ideas win a prize. I hope, like we’ve done in the past, that this is going to advance the thinking,” Miller added. Helmet safety has improved in recent years, largely due to changes in padding …
