This footage shows exactly what happened on stage before and during the events that happened. Etsy Lau took it upon herself to speak out about her husband’s actions and clear the air before fans took what happened the wrong way.
She started her caption with, “Rather than speculating, I thought to post a first-person account of what happened on stage.”
“Clearly there had been a lot of tension and animosity between the members. The magic that made the band so dynamic. Well, the dynamite was lit. Perry got up in Dave’s face and body-checked him."
She continued to say that his frustration was mounting the whole time during the performances. “He felt that the stage volume had been extremely loud and his voice was being drowned out by the band. Perry had been suffering from tinnitus and a sore throat every night.”
But when the audience in the first row started complaining up to Perry, cussing at him that the band was planning too loud and that they couldn’t hear him, Perry lost it."
We can totally understand his frustration during this time and maybe some communication could have definitely helped.
