Metallica have paid tribute to a Canadian fan who died during their concert in Edmonton.

On Friday night (August 23), while attending Metallica’s concert at the Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Canada, a fan by the name of Lorne died mid-show, while in the “Snake Pit” – the front row mosh pit area reserved for VIP fans.

The cause of Lorne’s death is currently unknown, but according to a post on Facebookfrom someone claiming to be his friend, he suffered from an undisclosed “medical issue” and was given “aggressive CPR” to no avail. It was also written that Lorne was nicknamed “the Viking,” and was described as “the kindest soul.”

Metallica have now commented on the situation, sharing a tribute post in Lorne’s honour on social media. They wrote: “Friday night, August 23rd, in Edmonton we lost a Metallica family member at the show. He died due to health conditions. Leaving the earthly body and onto the next adventure. Very sad when death happens, but we’re touched that he spent some of his final, hopefully joyful, time with us. Our condolences to the family and friends of Lorne ‘Viking.’”

While the bidding is now closed – the winning bid is currently unknown – it was confirmed that the winner will be allowed to bring up to three additional guests for the night, but would have to foot the entire bill for the night.

When NME first reported on the auction, the bid stood at $28,500 (£22,112), and had five days left to go.

Elsewhere, the band’s 1991 self-titled album – also known as ‘The Black Album’ – recently crossed 750 weeks on the Billboard 200 charts. The album was led by five singles: ‘Enter Sandman’, ‘The Unforgiven’, ‘Nothing Else Matters’, ‘Wherever I May Roam’ and ‘Sad But True’.
