MEGADETH Frontman DAVE MUSTAINE Visits Fan Stabbed At Argentina Show In Hospital
August 7, 2016, 8 years ago
According to a report from Argentina's Minutouno, a Megadeth fan was allegedly robbed and stabbed three times during the band's sold-out August 4th show in Neuquén, Argentina.
During the show, the 30 year-old victim reportedly started arguing with a woman who allegedly tried to steal his wallet. He was then assaulted by a man and stabbed three times in the chest and forearm. The victim was transported to the Castro Rendón hospital, where he remains in stable condition. The identity of the man's attacked is unknown at this time.
When Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine found out about the incident, he took to Twitter saying that he would be visiting the injured fan in hospital, earning him added respect from the Megadeth fanbase judging by the reactions.
Gotta split. A fan got hurt last night. I'm gonna visit him in the hospital. Love you guys, and please for God's sake be nice to each other!

I love you all. I would do the same thing for our fans no matter where they are from. Please be nice to each other even if you hate me. 😉
