Slipknot performed as an eight-piece tonight following bassist Alessandro Venturella being rushed to the hospital in Hartford, CT. Footage of the bands vocalist Corey Taylor addressing the crowd can be seen below:
“I’m gonna let you know what’s going on right now. I’m sorry to say that our bass player, Alex, had… Something happened. I’m not sure what happened. He’s been put into an ambulance and he’s going to the hospital right now as we speak. But I want you all to make fucking noise for him, send him some fucking love. Now, we had a choice to come back out here. We’ve had to modify some shit, but we’re gonna keep on playing for you. It’s what we want, it’s what Alex would fucking want.”
Venturella was rushed to hospital six songs into the set.
