FROM BROKEN HOPE:
Sending
love and support to the victims, families, friends, fans, and all
involved in the Apollo Theatre tragedy last night in Belvidere.
FROM SOLT:
I've
been down front at many a Morbid Angel show. Luckily none of our
friends we know who were supposed to be there got hurt. The roof life
right across the front of the stage collapsed. The most dedicated are
the ones who got hurt. Absolutely awful. If you know any of the people
hurt or are one yourself let us know. Take care people. Hope you're all
alright.
FROM WARFORGED:
Our thoughts go out to everyone attending the Morbid Angel show in Belvidere tonight
