Earlier this week, the band sent their condolences to the family and friends of a fan who died at their show at London’s Alexandra Palace last Friday night.
The incident occurred in the moshpit during the first half of the performance, with the fan carried out by security personel. Paramedics were in attendance but were unsuccessful in their attempts to resuscitate him.
