This is really sad — a fan tragically died at Miss May I’s show in New York City on Saturday. Alberto Scott, who was 21, collapsed after exiting the Studio at Webster Hall and passed away shortly after.

Numerous blogs are reporting that Scott died after stage diving, but police have since confirmed that he died after leaving the venue. So far no further details have been released, but the band did comment on the incident:
