According to Metal Hammer, Slipknot bassist Alex ‘Vman’ Venturella was rushed to hospital midway through a show in Hartford, Connecticut, last night (August 2nd).
The concert was delayed for 20 minutes after he suffered an unidentified medical crisis. He was sent off in an ambulance, then the remaining eight members returned to complete their performance.
Frontman Corey Taylor addressed the crowd: “I’m sorry to say that our bass player, Alex had something happen. I’m not sure what happened. He’s been put into an ambulance and is going to the hospital right now. But I want you to all make some fucking noise for him – send him some fucking love. We had the choice to come back out here. We’ve had to modify some shit, but we’re going to fucking keep on playing for you. It’s what we want. It’s what Alex would fucking want.”
