FROM AN UNCONFIRMED SOURCE:
I'm at the Myth right now ~ Mastodons tour manager came out a few moments ago to announce that Opeth's singer was in a car accident and "was rushed to the hospital about an hour ago" - he said as a result they will not be performing tonight. A loud groan echoed thru this huge sellout crowd of nearly 4000...including me! Bummer. No other details as to what happened or his condition have been given as of this moment - 9:27pm CDT. will post more if we here more from Mastodon who are about to start...
