More information has been released on the arrest of Lamb Of God front man Randy Blythe.
Firstly from the band’s publicist Adrenaline PR:
“Lamb of God Management will be issuing an official statement on Monday regarding the charges made against singer Randy Blythe. As no formal charges have yet been made and the case is only in the investigation stages, it would be premature to make an official statement filled with false truths or innuendos.
Having said that, management wished to address today one false piece of information that has been included in many of the news stories released so far. Under no circumstances was there a fight of any kind involved. This incident deals with a fan that three times during the concert jumped the barricade and rushed Randy during the performance.
It is alleged that the third time, security was not able to reach him and that Randy pushed him back into the audience where supposedly he fell and hit his head.
Again, until the investigation is concluded this weekend, nothing more will be released, but clarity and the facts needed to be addressed on this one reported point which is totally inaccurate.”
The band’s guitarist Willie Adler has also commented on the arrest:
“It’s been a rough couple of days. All I can say is that I can’t recall that particular show let alone a fan being beaten on the stage. I think I would’ve noticed something like that considering the Dime thing.
We’re all still here in the Czech Republic awaiting what is to happen. We hope we’ll be able to get Randy out this afternoon. All our thoughts are with him as well as the family of the deceased fan.
We’ve no real clue as to what happened to him, but we send our condolences. All we try to do is entertain; the fans are why we’re here. We would never try and harm anyone.”
Furthermore Blesk.cz have revealed that Blythe had been released on $200,000 bail which is reportedly the equivalent of his annual income. However due to banks not being open on the weekend they bail could not be posted for another two days.
The members of Lamb Of God have revealed in short that Blythe has been released via a Twitter post yesterday:
“RANDY IS FUCKIN’ FREE !”
