Suicide Concert??

tupelocreedfan · 10-01-2003, 06:29 AM

My husband was telling me something about a concert where they
were going to let a girl commit suicide on stage, I think she had a
terminal illness. Don't get me wrong, I have taken care of dying
cancer patients and I respect the idea of assisted suicide in a personal and private setting- but not on stage in front of 100s of
people. Does anyone have more info?

Your kidding right? I am a nurse and I see people linger to the last minute and die with dignity and respect. I am not a person who agrees with that, I have seen it all! Cancer is a horrible thing BELIEVE me there were times I wished my grandparnets would not have to suffer, but it was god's choice as to when they went no one else's!!! What kind of a band would do that, sounds fishy to me!

Anyways they can't do that on stage, ummm........ someone can be arrested

Here's what I found on it...Sounds like a no-go for now....

St. Petersburg, Florida-AP) -- The owner of a theater where a band was planning to have a live suicide during its show has said no to the concert.

The owner of a club across town is also saying the show won't happen there.

The band Hell on Earth has said it would allow a right-to-die group member to end his life on stage during its show in St. Petersburg, Florida, next month.

David Hundley, owner of the State Theater, says he won't allow the show to happen at his club because he doesn't want to put anyone in the club at risk.

Matt Mullins, owner of Club Venom, where the band has said they will move the show, says the concert won't happen at his club either if a suicide is part of the act.

The band could not be reached for comment.

That is SICK...i believe a person has a right to end his or her own life if they are suffering...but not for money...that band is sick...

if someone wants to kill themselves they can do it whenever and wherever they want to. it's this guys's life so let him make decidions, and just because it's so different from other things it doesnt make it wrong.

It's sickening that anyone would want to commit suicide (at a public concert, nonetheless) and that anyone (namely the band, Hell on Earth) would accomadate such actions. Thank goodness the club owners intervened and cancelled the show. But my roommate heard on the radio the other day that it was going to be moved to an undisclosed date/location. Absolutely sickening.

I'ts still against the law is it not....

I remember reading about this on MSN.com. Has anyone ever seen The Life of David Gale, it's a great movie about something similar, not completely, but somewhat. I don't agree with it, but I can't make someone else's decisions.

That is very disturbing and not to mention disgusting

OMG! I've never heard anything from this band, I'm glad I havn't now

They are now on my do not buy or listen to list

TeriB19 · 10-01-2003, 11:29 PM

I have a feeling it may have just been a publicity stunt to get the name of the band out there for recognition. I think it's pretty sick but then again, there are a LOT of sick people in this world.

stargirl · 10-02-2003, 12:04 AM

That is so sad, how can anyone let somebody kill themselfs!
I hope that person finds help, and same with the band.

facelessman · 10-02-2003, 12:38 AM

JulieCitySlicker · 10-02-2003, 12:51 AM
