Megadeth's Dave Mustaine said the band and Peter Frampton's recent Virginia concerts were canceled over safety concerns, not structural damage.
canceled concerts scheduled just two days apart at Virginia Credit Union Live in Richmond, Virginia. While onstage in Philadelphia a few days later, Frampton threwunder the bus with claims that the show couldn’t go on due to structural damage sustained during the band’s soundcheck at the venue.
“I’m not blaming them — could have been another band — but it looks pretty like it,” he said. “So, sorry, Megadeth. I had to rat on you.” From the other end of the pointed finger, Megadeth took it personally.shared in a statement on Monday, Sept. 23. “The decision was purely based on safety. It’s disappointing when someone you admire talks out their ass about you.” When Frampton was laying out his version of events to his live audience, he did consider that the show was canceled because of weather. The blame put towards Megadeth was just an additional explanation.The New ‘Matlock’ Is the Russian Doll of Reboots A representative for Megadeth stated that the band was not able to soundcheck ahead of the canceled Richmond concert after their rigger discovered damage to the venue grid while attempting to hang lights. “It was determined that it was unsafe for Megadeth to hang their production or put the band on stage at the risk of in-house grid failure to support the weight of the touring lighting and sound which could fall on the band, crew members, or audience, as it could cause serious injury or death,” the band representatives explained. “Therefore, Megadeth, the local promoter, the venue, and booking agents had no other option than to cancel the show.” According to a statement released by Megadeth on the day of the cancellation, the show will not be rescheduled. As with Frampton’s concert, refunds will be issued to fans through the point of contact.Hollywood Can’t Ditch Its Teslas Fast Enough: “They're Destroying Their Leases and Walking Away”
