Last night, news surfaced of a fan, Alberto Scott, who died after attending a Miss May I show on Saturday night in NYC. Initially, it was believed he died as a result of stage diving, but it turns out he collapsed as he was leaving the venue, so it's not known if it was the result of a bad fall or some other condition.
Regardless, a metal fan is gone and it's not a happy day for the band.
They have released a new statement, expressing their sadness and alerting fans of a donation fund set up to help for the fan's funeral costs:
As many of you will have heard, Alberto Scott, a Miss May I fan in attendance at our Webster Hall show on Saturday night tragically died. We were deeply shocked and saddened to hear this news. We are awaiting a full report from the New York Police Department. In the meantime, we'd ask that all your thoughts and prayers be with his family. We have been made aware of a webpage that is raising funds to help pay for his funeral costs. We will be making a contribution and we'd strongly urge others to do so- http://www.gofundme.com/8vjoqc
