BBC.co.uk reports:

LAMB OF GOD singer Randy Blythe remains in custody in Prague over the death of a fan, despite reports he had been released on bail.

The 44-year-old was arrested and charged with manslaughter last week over an incident in 2010, when he allegedly pushed a fan from a stage.

A spokesman for Prague 8 Court told the BBC that Mr Blythe had posted bail of four million Czech koruna (£126,000).

But the bail system in the Czech Republic is not as rapid as in the UK.

Although bail has been posted, the decision to release the US singer is still subject to appeal and so it will take some time for the state prosecutor's office to give approval.

There may also be certain conditions placed upon the singer's release, including forcing him to remain in the country if he is considered to be a flight risk.

As a result, the singer, from Virginia in the US, is still being held at Prague's Pankrac prison.

Blythe was arrested on June 27 at the Prague airport and is accused of causing the fatal injury that occurred at the band's May 24, 2010 show in Prague. This incident deals with a 19-year-old fan (Daniel N.) that three times during the concert jumped the barricade and rushed Randy during the performance. It is alleged that the third time, security was not able to reach him and that Randy pushed him back into the audience where supposedly he fell and hit his head. He died 14 days later of bleeding in the brain.

The crime of which Blythe is being accused is punishable by up to ten years in prison, according to Czech news website Novinky.cz.
