The lead singer of American deathcore band Emmure was electrocuted live on stage during a gig, apparently because of faulty wiring.  See a video of the shocking incident below.

While performing, Frankie Palmeri just drops to the floor when electrocuted. A band member attempts to help him, but suffers a minor electric shock through contact. Emmure, who were playing in Moscow's Plan B, sadly had to call their set short.

The band's guitarist Mike Mulholland wrote on Twitter after the show: "I'm so sorry to all of our Moscow fans who came to see us tonight."

Palmeri also took to Twitter in order to reassure fans that he was okay, writing, "Sorry I almost literally died on stage tonight #Moscow. Getting zapped by 200 volts feels like s**t. Ya almost got me tonight. #STILLALIVE"

He later continued to explain the incident in a series of tweets, saying, "I'm not mad at Plan B or Moscow or anything stupid like that. I took the risk because I wanted to step on stage and play an amazing show. Your get wells and worries were very heart felt and appreciated. Im good. I just want to play Isreal tonight and go the f**k back to Queens."

Palmeri continued, "Gino my monitor guy got zapped first and warned me. But I wasn't gonna let it stop me from doing the only thing I was put here to do. A venue with no ventilation caused the entire venue to sweat + faulty wiring and grounding caused the accident. S**tty circumstances.

"Truth is something like this could of happened anywhere at anytime. I've played many clubs that have POOR ventilation and electrical set ups I don't care about the video or what people are saying. It's all one big joke to me. Just lucky I'm ok."
