MACHINE HEAD Forced To Cut Milan Concert Short

December 7, 2007

According to several e-mails received by BLABBERMOUTH.NET from people attending last night's (December 6) MACHINE HEAD show in Milan, Italy, the group was forced to cut its performance short after guitarist Phil Demmel apparently fainted on stage 35 minutes into MACHINE HEAD's set (during the intro to "Descend the Shades of Night"). He was subsequently tended to by medical emergency professionals and reportedly didn't require hospitalization (the ambulance was seen driving away empty).

MACHINE HEAD's concert at Alcatraz in Milan, Italy was part of the band's European "The Black Crusade" tour with TRIVIUM, DRAGONFORCE, ARCH ENEMY and SHADOWS FALL.

An official statement on the matter from the MACHINE HEAD camp is expected shortly.
