Watch a fan steal the spotlight at Avenged Sevenfold’s Montreal concert!

This past Saturday, August 8th, in Montreal, Quebec, an eager fan was invited to join Avenged Sevenfold onstage, as per theprp. The video of this fan has gone viral. When M. Shadows, the band’s vocalist, pulled the fan up onstage, he instantly relieved the leader of Avenged Sevenfold of his singing responsibilities and took over the microphone for a performance of “Unholy Confessions.” The fan was given backup vocals by Shadows for a section of the single “Waking The Fallen.” The fan appeared to have a sign in their hand before security was signalled by Shadows to bring them up onstage. Since then, fan-shot video of the energetic performance has gone viral on social media this week.
