Lamb Of God's Randy Blythe Detained For Manslaughter In Prague - Music, Celebrity, Artist News | MTV.com

Lamb of God's D. Randall "Randy" Blythe was detained in Prague this week. The heavy-metal singer could face five to 10 years in prison for an alleged altercation at a 2010 Lamb of God show that reportedly left a concertgoer dead, according to Czech media outlet Novinky.

Early reports indicate the incident involved a man repeatedly rushing the stage from the crowd. He was ejected from the stage and later died of head injuries sustained during the alleged altercation, according to Novinky and WTVR, the CBS News affiliate in Lamb of God's hometown of Richmond, Virginia.

Lamb of God canceled a show at the Rock Cafe in Prague Thursday after the singer was brought in for questioning. Some reports say he was arrested and charged with "the crime of bodily harm of 4th degree and resulting in the death of a fan," however, representatives for the band say he hasn't been formally charged.

"Having said that, management wished to address today one false piece of information that has been included in many of the news stories released so far," she continued. "Under no circumstances was there a fight of any kind involved. This incident deals with a fan that three times during the concert jumped the barricade and rushed Randy during the performance. It is alleged that the third time, security was not able to reach him and that Randy pushed him back into the audience where supposedly he fell and hit his head. Again, until the investigation is concluded this weekend, nothing more will be released, but clarity and the facts needed to be addressed on this one reported point which is totally inaccurate."

After what happened to Dimebag it's no surprise that anyone would get defensively aggressive if/when someone rushes and jumps on stage. Supposedly, someone who was at the show blogged that Randy and the deceased had an altercation on the stage before the deceased was pushed off it. The deceased succombed to head injuries 14 hours after the incident. So far there have been no video accounts of the incident to be found online; however, some may come forth by persons present that night if a manslaughter case is brought forward.

The Prosecutor is appealing, so he may have to go back for another go-round.

OK. The only thing that really matters is that justice apparently has been served.
