HELL ON EARTH Stage Concert, Sans Suicide

October 13, 2003

The Tampa Tribune reports that Florida shock-rockers HELL ON EARTH played Sunday night (October 12),but the promised suicide of a terminally ill fan on stage still didn't happen.

The concert at the Liar's Club in Tampa attracted about 20 fans. Outside, police and television crews waited for the suicide that didn't happen.

The band grabbed headlines when it promised to broadcast the suicide of a terminally ill fan during a concert Oct. 4 in St. Petersburg. The band played that night, but no suicide was reported.

Billy Tourtelot, the band leader, instead used Sunday's concert to declare his candidacy to the St. Petersburg City Council.

"I want your vote,'' he declared, saying his candidacy was "the only way to change things."

The band were scheduled to play at the Brass Mug on Sunday, but the bar's owner canceled the show.
