Lamb of God frontman remains in jail in Czech Republic


Lamb Of God front man Randy Blythe remains on remand in jail in the Czech Republic after his arrest on arrival in the country last month over allegations he caused the death of a fan at a gig there two years ago. The fan, named as 19 year old Daniel N, fell off the stage at a Lamb of God show in 2010, seemingly after being pushed, and incurred head injuries that ultimately led to his death. Blythe is accused of pushing the fan, and now faces charges of manslaughter. The band's manager, Larry Mazer, last week told Rolling Stone that the case against Blythe was "full of holes", adding that the fan had invaded the stage three times before his fall, and that a video of the gig shows it was not the frontman who pushed him: a new statement from the band said they were seeking to get Blythe released and have asked fans for financial help with legal costs, although it seems prosecutors fear Blythe, a US citizen, would flee the country if he is freed before a trail.
