FEAR FACTORY FRAZZLED

A poorly-proofed report on The Gauntlet claims that Fear Factory singer Burton C Bell was electrocuted on stage in Luxembourg last night:

Burton was sweating and somehow, he got an electric shock through the mic and he fell down, he layed there almost 1 minute and then the others took him backstage, the show was over, nobody told us what happened, cause the mic was danegrous

The venue, meanwhile, are quick to claim it's no big deal:

"FEAR FACTORY had a shortcut on one 110/220V trafo of one of their own guitar amp, which caused the fuse to blow three times during their set (the two opening acts went well) Nobody got hurt, no ambulance etc needed. The tour manager informed us after the show that the problem has occurred before on their tour."

Hang about... they keep using the equipment which punches 240 volts into Burton Bell? We know we'd encourage them to do so, but you would have thought they'd want to take better care of him...
