During EDGUY's set on July 14th at the Bang Your Head Festival in Balingen, Germany, frontman Tobias Sammet fell off stage during the band's fifth song and landed in the photo pit. In spite of suffering a fractured nose and several contusions he held out and the band completed their planned set, which lasted another hour.
Sammet checked in afterwards with the following update:
"Thanks for your kind wishes. I am alright. I do not have a clue how it happened. The stage wasn't damp, my shoes were alright, I do not have to mention that I was completely sober as this must have been obvious to everyone. I have no clue how it happened. I just fell and suddenly there was blood and a little pain, which got worse song by song. I didn't know you can squeeze so much blood out of such a little nose (well, it‘s not exactly little at this point...). The doctor just said the nose will be fine in a few weeks. Anyway, there was too much adrenaline to stop the show. The fans were so great, it just felt wrong to stop the show, so we decided to just go on and have the doctors repair me afterwards. I am okay now, looking terrible and hurting, but who cares... I‘ll be fine. Thank you for your wishes and for making the show a great show, despite the little incident."The clip below was shot before Sammet fell off stage.
