Regarding the band’s disastrous performance at Exhibition White City in London, England on February 14th, Avatar frontman Johannes Eckerström has released a new video statement, as per theprp. The show was cut short after 12 songs, while the Swedish metal band has been doing about 17 songs during their sets during their current European/UK leg. An alleged electrical problem that shocked two members of the band’s road crew and destroyed some of their equipment was the cause of that sudden end.
Hello everyone watching, particularly the people of London who came out to see our show tonight. As you heard, we didn’t make it quite to the finish line.
The whole stage became electrified. It burnt up some of our equipment and also shocked — severely shocked — two guys in our crew.
We have deemed this venue not safe to perform in any longer. Like, we could get hurt, we we’re simply lucky. The crew guys are fine now, so also lucky. But this is not a safe place to be for you or for us, so how about a rain check?
We want to figure out what we can do to come back as soon as we can and do you right London. I think both you and us deserve that very much.
Thank you for an amazing hour-plus at least, it was supposed to be a bit longer. You were amazing, we were pretty amazing too. Let’s find an amazing place to finish this.
