Abstract
We examine the geometry near the event horizon of a family of black st ring solutions with traveling waves. It has previously been shown that the metric is continuous there. Contrary to expectations, we find tha t the geometry is not smooth, and the horizon becomes singular wheneve r a wave is present. Both five-dimensional and six-dimensional black s trings are considered with similar results.
