Vicarious Music is devastated to report that a Smashing Pumpkins fan was killed at the band’s concert in Vancouver this past Monday.
Exact cause of death has not yet been reported, but the death is so far thought to be a mosh-pit/crowd surfing related incident, according to one witness who said that the young man fell while crowd surfing.
The police have determined there was no foul play involved.
Although vicarious music are advocates of concert going and love nothing more than to see a bunch of fans enjoying a show, dancing, crowd surfing and stage diving, we take this opportunity to ask that you are all careful and thoughtful when taking part-accidents like this do happen.
After he decided to smash his guitar, he then hoped to sell it during his Monday show at the Fillmore. I don’t really agree with it. It makes them look desperate. Especially for 10,000 dollars! Looks like he was to cheap to include the guitar strings with it. This whole reunion is interesting to me. View picture of the guitar for sale under the video of him slamming it.
