Three people were injured during Theory Of A Deadman’s show in Minneapolis, Minnesota last night, after a 30X30 ft. piece of ceiling fell at the First Avenue club. According to ABC affiliate KSTP, extra weight was added to the ceiling after a busted pipe spilled water onto it. This, combined with vibrations from the band’s instruments, caused the collapse.
The band left the stage after the fall, and 750 fans were evacuated. Two of the three that were injured went to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Theory Of A Deadman have since issued the following statement about the incident:
“As some of you may be aware or may have witnessed, there was a partial ceiling collapse during our show last night at the First Avenue music venue in Minneapolis. At this time, we have been provided no details as to the cause of the collapse. As with all of our shows, our primary concern is for the safety of all involved; our fans, our crew, the venue staff and anyone and everyone else who may be in attendance. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who may have been injured or otherwise adversely affected by this unfortunate incident. Our sincerest thanks go out to the First Avenue staff, the Minneapolis Fire Department, the paramedics and all the other wonderful people who lent their swift assistance in helping others during the aftermath. We wish the injured a full and speedy recovery. We wish First Avenue a quick turnaround in re-opening the doors of their legendary venue. We look to returning to Minneapolis as soon as possible to play for our amazing friends and fans.”
