Paul McMullen, the Tour Manager for Fisherman's Friends, the ten piece Cornish shanty vocal group, has been killed and a band member seriously injured after a metal door fell on them at a concert venue. McMullen and Trevor Grills were believed to have been unloading gear for a show when the tragedy occurred at G Live in Guildford, Surrey, on Saturday morning. Grills is said to be fighting for his life in intensive care at St Georges Hospital in Tooting, London. The sea shanty group were given a £1m recording contract after being discovered by music industry bosses during a pub concert. They have since performed at the Glastonbury Festival and Ealing Studios has also been working on developing a film charting the rise of the a capella group.UPDATE - sadly Fisherman's Friends singer Trevor Grills died on Monday evening from his head injuries. A tragedy for the close knit group, and of course friends and his family.
