MORBID ANGEL has paid tribute to Frederick Forest Livingston, Jr., the 50-year-old man who was killed when the roof of the venue the band played in Belvidere, Illinois collapsed.

Although the concert was sold out, the Belvidere Police Department said only 260 people were at the Apollo Theater on March 31 when the collapse occurred as a heavy storm rolled through the area. The capacity of the theater is around 1,500.

Officials were notified by the National Weather Service of a tornado warning at 7:45 p.m. CT. The roof collapsed ten minutes later, according to Belvidere Fire Department chief Shawn Schadle.

Late Saturday night (April 1),MORBID ANGEL released the following statement via social media: “We want to personally send our heartfelt condolences to the the family and friends of our deceased brother in Metal, Fred Livingston Jr.” A fan also shared a link to a GoFundMe fundraising campaign which has been launched to help Livingston‘s family.
