A fan of the band Goose has died after falling from a balcony inside New York City’s Madison Square Garden during the band’s concert this weekend.
The Associated Press reports that a 51-year-old man, who was sitting in the 300s level of the arena, fell at around 9:51pm on Saturday night (June 20).
The man has been identified as Paul Kueker of Niantic, Connecticut. He was attending the concert with his wife and after the fall, he was found “unconscious and unresponsive with injuries indicating a fall from an ‘elevated position.’” No details about how the fall happened are known as of now. The man was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Goose has released a statement in response to the tragic incident.
“We are deeply saddened and heartbroken to learn of the tragic event that occurred at tonight’s show. We extend our deepest sympathy to everyone affected. Thank you to the emergency personnel and venue staff who stepped in with care and support,” the band wrote on Instagram.
Goose continued with plans for a Sunday night show in Central Park.
“We considered whether or not we were going to play and came to the decision that the best thing we can do right now is bring our community together, lean on one another, and offer a space for healing. So let’s be kind to each other tonight and remember our friend,” the band wrote.
