Thrash metal royalty Metallica have commented on the passing of one of their fans during their show at the Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, AB this past Friday, August 23rd. The band shared the following tribute to the fallen concertgoer:
“Friday night, August 23rd, in Edmonton we lost a Metallica family member at the show.
He died due to health conditions. Leaving the earthly body and onto the next adventure. Very sad when death happens, but we’re touched that he spent some of his final, hopefully joyful, time with us.
Our condolences to the family and friends of Lorne ‘Viking.’
With Love and Respect,
Metallica“
