Trail Of The Dead guitarist collapses on stage

Trail Of The Dead guitarist Kevin Allen reportedly collapsed several times at a Florida gig, which ended early after vocalist Conrad Keely smashed his guitar and shoved Allen into amps.

According to reports, and reportedly some blurry clips on YouTube, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead guitarist Kevin Allen collapsed several times on stage at a recent gig in Florida. The gig subsequently ended early but not before some onstage shenanigans from vocalist Conrad Keely, who announced the last song, but then went on to smash his guitar and physically attack his bandmate, the aforementioned Allen.

Pitchfork quote a gig-goer as saying: "[Conrad] smashed his guitar into a speaker. The crowd cheered thinking it was a part of the show. He quickly walked away, stopping to say 'thank you' in a nearby mic, and as he passed Kevin he gave him a hard shove, sending his guitarist into his stack of amps. The amps toppled under his weight. The fall looked quite painful."

And a second as saying: "Conrad keeps going right off stage and onto the bus (it was a courtyard venue, [and] the stage exits to the front gate, where the bus was parked). The rest of the band looked shocked and bewildered."
