A rock music fan fell to his death during a concert at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, according to the Associated Press. Officials told the news agency that a man fell from the 300 section of MSG and suffered fatal injuries just before 10 p.m. Police identified the man as 51-year-old Paul Kueker of Niantic, Connecticut, who had been attending the concert with his wife. Goose, the band performing at the venue at the time of Kueker’s death, released a statement following the tragic incident. “We are all reeling following the events that occurred at last nights show,“ the band wrote in a post on Instagram. ”Getting off stage to learn that news was devastating for us and our crew, and we cannot imagine how some of you left the show feeling last night." The jam band offered resources for fans affected by the traumatic incident at Saturday night’s show and said it would go ahead with its scheduled performance at Central Park on Sunday, with proceeds going toward a charitable fund. “We... came to the decision that the best thing we can do right now is bring our community together, lean on one another, and offer a space for healing,” they wrote.
