Tragedy brought last night’s Ghost show to a halt. On the last night of the “Rats on the Road Tour” in Milwaukee , a fan collapsed in the audience right at the start of the intermission period. The incident occurred just as the band had announced an intermission at the 2,500-capacity Riverside Theater around 9:15 p.m. Security was flagged and CPR was administered. Approximately a half hour later, it was announced that the show was canceled. Staff at the Riverside reportedly told fans the show was cut short because of a “terrible tragedy.” The man reportedly passed away at the hospital. The band posted a statement about the incident and why they stopped the show, below.

Tonight, in Milwaukee there was a medical emergency with one of our fans. We decided not to continue out of respect to him and his family. Ghost and all who work with us ask that you please send the family your thoughts, prayers and respect their privacy during this time.
