This article is simply heartbreaking as a concert goer myself I can't imagine going to a concert and ending up disabled. From what I understand this incident happened due to the actions of the band causing a life changing injury in the audience. I do not personally appreciate the responses both by the band or the venue. Although the band followed procedure and stopped the performance to take care of this incident. As much as I can tell the responses of the band and venue was this is sad here is a go fund me link for a person who just sustained a life altering injury. I feel the the band and venue should have some sort of financial responsibility when situations like this happen. I don't know how to make this standard but personally it breaks my heart that this incident happened and i hope for the best future for this fan.
