Slipknot fans were left shocked after the band's bassist was rushed to hospital in an ambulance halfway through the gig last night (Sunday 2 August, 2015).
The masked menaces of metal were performing at the XFinity Theatre at Hartford in Connecticut when they abandoned the stage after five songs. They appeared 20 minutes later, minus new bassist Alex 'VMan' Venturella, when frontman Corey Taylor came and spoke to the crowd.
“I’m sorry to say that our bass player, Alex – something happened. I’m not sure what happened. He’s going to the hospital as we speak. I want you to all make some noise for him – send him some fucking love," said Taylor.
However, the band still continued to play, with Taylor saying: "It’s what we want, it’s what Alex would fucking want.”
