Fan impaled at Chevelle show

2015-05-26 by cvlts | 39 Comments
In a story that's quickly making its rounds throughout the music blogosphere, it's being reported that a fan was impaled to death in an accident during a Chevelle show on the 24th.

Originally attributed to the Chicago Tribune, it's being reported that the victim and two of his friends wandered behind the stage before the victim fell approximately 6 to 8 feet off a catwalk onto two metal rods. Naturally, the show was stopped once the body was found.

I find the fact that some fans demanded their money back for the show more disturbing than the accident itself.

"Two of the three found their way to a catwalk where they were able to watch the show, and after a short while, they noticed Kirchhoff wasn't with them. When they searched for him, they found his body. He had apparently fallen about 6 to 8 feet onto two metal rods, the source said."

Geez imagine your at a show with your bros and you're like oh hey you seen bob and then you look down or something and find him dead with a bunch of fucking rods through him, horrible, hope the dude went quick RIP

Yeah, this is tragic and I hope that the dude went quick, but this does sound like something that could have been avoided easily by not being an idiot
