Stay smart and stay safe when enjoying music, people.
The band Chevelle was asked to cut Friday night's set short by authorities due to an undisclosed injury to a fan. It wasn't until this morning that we learned the extent of this tragedy via a report from WGN News and Chicago Tribune.
Apparently, a trio of fans seeking a better view entered a restricted area and attempted to access a catwalk, which ultimately gave way. According to WGN's report, the 24 year old victim "fell onto an organ and was impaled by its metal pipes." There will be an ongoing police investigation but initial reports suggest the fall was from around 6-8 feet.
Sympathies to those affected by this accident.
