Randy Blythe: Court Set to Rule Saturday on His Detention

by | Jun 29, 2012

The Associated Press is reporting that a court is set to rule on Saturday on whether to continue the detention of Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe.

Police spokeswoman Jana Rosslerova told AP that Blythe has been in police custody in Prague since Wednesday. Police believed Blythe “injured a person who consequently died” in 2010.

Meanwhile band guitarist Willie Adler commented, “It’s been a rough couple of days. All I can say is that I can’t recall that particular show let alone a fan being beaten on the stage. I think I would’ve noticed something like that considering the [Dimebag Darrell Abbott] thing.”

He added, “We’re all still here in the Czech Republic awaiting what is to happen… All our thoughts are with him as well as the family of the deceased fan. We’ve no real clue as to what happened to him, but we send our condolences. All we try to do is entertain; the fans are why we’re here. We would never try and harm anyone.”
