Over the weekend, Tool played two shows at Honolulu’s Blaisdell Arena (signifying their first performances in Hawaii since 2011). According to various sources, a fan collapsed during one of the concerts, and their condition remains unknown as police continue investigating the possible cause(s).

The news first broken earlier this morning (Dec. 21), when Alternative Nation posted a story in which they wrote: “A Tool fan collapsed at the band’s show in Honolulu, with blood coming out of his mouth. Chest compressions were performed. Police searched the scene for evidence or drugs.”

He seems to be the only one in the band who acknowledged the incident. Maynard [James Keenan, vocalist] just kept doing his dumb little dance moves and Justin [Chancellor, bassist] almost seemed to want to keep the crowd distracted from the chaos. . . . .
