It was believed that one such attempt was when he suffered from a near-fatal [[shooting]] at the [[Hammersmith Odeon]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Biography (short story)|Biography]]'') in either 1972 ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos (short story)|Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos]]'') or [[July]] [[1973]]. The truth of the assassination actually involved a pair of [[Martian Time Agents]] who were sent to assassinate Vince by [[Anthony Marvelle]], but this was foiled when [[Simon (Enter Wildthyme)|Simon]] and [[Panda]] warned Vince of the imminent attack, and Panda scared off the Martians due to there being an ancient [[legend]] of a panda who arrived in a [[Celestial Omnibus|scarlet chariot]] on [[Mars]]. Later, Vince invited Simon and Panda to an after party in gratitude. However, according to this account, these events were in an [[alternate reality]], and that in [[N-Space|Simon's universe]], this was the final retirement performance of Vince Cosmos. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Enter Wildthyme (novel)|Enter Wildthyme]]'') Another assassination attempt on Vince's life was supposed to happen while Vince was performing in front of [[Princess Margaret]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Biography (short story)|Biography]]'') in the [[Royal Variety]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos (short story)|Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos]]'') However, the explosives only went off after everybody left. Vince began making public statements about the existence of [[Meercock|Martians]] and the dangers they presented, but these were dismissed as everybody believed that Vince was becoming [[paranoia|paranoid]] and was failing to distinguish fact from fiction.
