A fan has died after attending a Slipknot concert.
A member of the audience has died after he collapsed at a gig by heavy metal band Slipknot.
Cory Nikels passed out after the show at the Mid America Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Sunday (January 25th).
Paramedics tried to resuscitate the man before rushing him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Friends of the 29-year-old, who has a history of heart problems, told police that he had complained of feeling unwell during the gig, which was taking part in the band's home-state.
Officials also revealed that almost 30 people needed to be treated for injuries following the show, with most casualties being hurt while dancing in the mosh pit.
Last month, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor launched a foul-mouthed rant about indie band Coldplay while appearing on Zane Lowe's show on MTV 2.
The singer described the recent Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends record as "one of the most self-celebratory pieces of s**t" he has ever heard and said it is "music to wipe your ass to".
