Today (November 1) has been declared “Five Finger Death Punch Day” in the band’s hometown of Las Vegas, NV. Commissioner Tick Segerblom made the proclamation at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, where the group are set to perform tonight (November 1) and tomorrow (November 2). A new display was also unveiled at the hotel to mark the occasion.
Here’s the proclamation:
“Whereas, it is the privilege of the Board of County Commissioners to honor and recognize multi-platinum-selling artist and award-winning band Five Finger Death Punch, and their commitment to entertainment, the performing arts and the community; and
Whereas, with an unparalleled music career, Five Finger Death Punch has accumulated 21 consecutive US top-10 hits, eight #1 hits, three gold albums, three platinum albums, and a platinum single, making them the most successful band in the rock genre in terms of album sales; and
Whereas, with more than 3 billion streams, 4.5 million albums, and 10 million digital songs sold worldwide, Five Finger Death Punch is the recipient of countless awards, including the Soldier Appreciation Award from the Association of the United States Arm – European Region (only other artist awarded was Elvis Presley); and
Whereas, with their song “Wrong Side Of Heaven,” they raised awareness for veterans suffering from PTSD and more than $225,000 for organizations that support veterans.
Now, therefore, we, the Board of Commissioners of Clark County, Nevada, do hereby recognize Five Finger Death Punch and congratulate them on the success of their career and their two sold-out hometown shows at The Joint at The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas.”
