Tragedy has unfolded at a Morbid Angel concert in Illinois.
A Friday night concert in Belvidere, Ill., has been cut short due to massive winds causing the roof of the Apollo Theater to collapse. According to CBS Chicago, a severe storm in the area caused winds to hit up to 90 mph, making the roof collapse to the floor of the venue. Winds also caused the venue’s marquee to collapse. So far, only injuries, not casualties, have been reported at the time of publishing. The show, which was Morbid Angel’s United States Tour Of Terror, featured Revocation, Skeletal Remains, and Crypta.
Morbid Angel released a statement about the incident, writing:
“Tonights show is Canceled due to a Tornado that hit the Venue.
