During a July 25 set with Dirkschneider in Pyras, Germany, bassist Peter Baltes (ex-Accept) and guitarist Alen Brentini were injured in “serious falls.” Baltes even had to be hospitalized. The incidents were related to “insufficient safety conditions.”
Singer Udo Dirkschneider (ex-Accept) commented:
“Notice about the Pyraser Classic Rock Night
During our performance at the Pyraser Classic Rock Night, Peter Baltes and Alen Brentini suffered serious falls due to insufficient safety conditions on stage. Alen suffered several severe contusions and other injuries. Fortunately, despite this, he is in a condition to continue performing. Peter suffered three rib fractures and is being treated at a hospital in Nuremberg. He is likely not to be able to perform for a longer period. Our thoughts are with him, and we wish a speedy and complete recovery.
Despite these difficult circumstances, Dirkschneider will continue to perform the scheduled shows as planned.
We will release more information as soon as it is available.
Thank you very much for the support and for all the messages of well-being sent to Peter and Alen.”
