Fans at a Metallica show in Gurgaon, India, destroyed the bands equipment after they were notified that the show had been canceled due to the front security barrier collapsing.
The four executives of DNA Entertainment Network that organized the show were arrested Sunday on fraud charges according to BBC News. Reports state that the police arrested the executives after complaints surfaced that the organizers refused to refund money for the show, leading fans to riot.
Metallica issued a statement after the cancellation saying they were “notified that there was a serious question as to whether the show could proceed with regard to the safety of the concert audience.” The band noted that their “first and foremost concern was for the safety of you, the fans.”
The canceled show would have been the first Metallica show ever in India.
This video shows the mayhem as the fans riot on the stage.
Man, as a Metallica fan I have to say that I would be very angry if they canceled a show and didn’t refund my money. Hopefully they learn from this in the future. This story seems a bit short though, how long was the original?
Interesting post. Good attribution. Many punctuation errors – check your work!
bands should be band’s, and this sentence is a bit wordy: Fans at a Metallica show in Gurgaon, India, destroyed the bands equipment after they were notified that the show had been canceled due to the front security barrier collapsing.
should say executives WHO organized the show, and need comma before according to: The four executives of DNA Entertainment Network that organized the show were arrested Sunday on fraud charges according to BBC News.
Metallica is a band, singular; it can’t be a “they”
The news story says the concert was supposed to be in Delhi, not Gurgaon.
