Well this is horrible – an unidentified concertgoer attending Battle Beast‘s December 1 show at Bratislava, Slovakia’s Majestic Music Club died of a heart attack during the performance. No additional information is available at the moment, though there really doesn’t need to be either. This is a terrible moment for someone’s friends and family, and we extend our condolences to all those affected.
On the incident, Battle Beast commented: “Yesterday in Bratislava, we were forced to stop the show due to a severe medical emergency in the audience, which tragically resulted in a person’s death. We want to thank the local crew and promoter for responding to the situation with professionalism and care.
“To everyone who was present, thank you for your patience, respect, and understanding during such a shocking and difficult moment. We share in the grief and heaviness that many of you are feeling. Our deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones of the person who passed away.
Openers Dominum also commented, saying: “Bratislava, thank you for that amazing show we had together. We truly felt your energy, and we were completely hyped. Shortly after, during Battle Beast‘s set, one person suffered a heart attack. Tragically, the person did not make it, and our thoughts are with the family.
“This is a situation we have never been in before, and we find ourselves missing the right words. But what we can say is how deeply moved we were by all of you. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for staying calm, for reacting so quickly, and for trying to help without a second thought.
“We are incredibly grateful for the way you stood together in such a difficult moment. Seeing a community care for one another so naturally, so instinctively, reminded us how powerful and meaningful this connection between all of us can be — not just during the music, but beyond it. Thank you for being there for each other. Our condolences go out to the family in these tough times.”
As did fellow openers Majestica, who added: “Bratislava, we had a great time playing for you last night! Sadly the night tragically ended too early. Just a few of songs into the Battle Beast set, one person suffered a heart attack and sadly didn’t make it. Our thoughts are with the family. Thank you for being so patient, staying calm and reacting so quickly to try and help.”
