I think he needs it to cover up the mistake that was his last haircut.

I skip the show and they play Street Spirit. Fuck my life.

Oh well, at least there's Mogwai to look forward to this Sunday.

I know I'm an ass for saying this cause someone is dead, but I hope they didn't just lose all those amazing (many probably vintage) instruments..

I think it was a festival gig. Maybe not, but I'd think the tour would come to an abrupt end if they lost the background lights and panels, plus all their gear, not to mention the stagehand who lost his life.

What a sad day for them.

High winds were to blame for the Sugarland and Cheap Trick collapses I believe. Who knows what the cause of this was. Mother nature or faulty construction. It remains to be seen.

We have all been shattered by the loss of Scott Johnson, our friend and colleague. He was a lovely man, always positive, supportive and funny; a highly skilled and valued member of our great road crew. We will miss him very much. Our thoughts and love are with Scott's family and all those close to him.

Looks like the lighting was completely destroyed, as well as a lot of the band's equipment.
