Kiss Fan Suing Live Nation Over Cannon Blast Injury
Thursday, 04 April 2013
Written by Jon Stickler
A Kiss fan is suing Live Nation after being injured by debris from a cannon explosion. The incident took place during a show at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in St Louis, Missouri in August last year.
At the time of the show, the claimant, William Mueller Jr, was already receiving treatment for brain cancer. Mr Mueller says that he was injured by the cannon after it “exploded and with great force launched a metal ratchet tie-down strap” that hit Mr Mueller who at the time was standing by his allotted seat.
Noting that Mueller was already in a “weakened and vulnerable condition” because of his treatment, the lawsuit says: “[The] defendants owed to [the] plaintiff the duty to exercise the highest degree of care for his safety. [The] defendants’ actions, conduct, or omissions were negligent, negligent per se, or both and were not those of a reasonably prudent person”.
The defendants are Live Nation and members of Kiss are currently not listed as defendants.
Kiss return to Europe this summer to continue their 'Monster' world tour. As yet, we are still awaiting news of some UK dates.
