musicNEWS: Concert Suicide – Did the Show Go On? 
10-06-03 Keavin
.
There is massive confusion following the failed webcast of a live suicide during a concert by the band Hell On Earth. The event was scheduled to occur on Saturday night but the website for the band was reportedly attacked by hackers, which made it inaccessible and prevented both the concert and the live suicide from being broadcast. 

There are conflicting reports about whether the suicide took place after all. When it was learned that the broadcast would not take place, the operator of the company that reportedly hosts the band’s website said that he was told by the band’s vocalist Billy Tourtelot that the event would be postponed. The website also reportedly had a message posted on it Saturday night, for those who could actually access it, that read "Next week the show will go on" and also provided a link to another website evilnow.com, which belongs to a DJ for the internet radio station RadioFreeSatan.com. 

However, Tourtelot told the Associated Press late Saturday that the planned concert did occur and he did not know about the website attack until after the concert. He also said that he was unsure whether the person who was supposed to commit suicide actually went through with it. The suicide and concert were supposed to take place at different locations.

There is yet another twist in the bizarre tale. Shane Bugbee, the online radio DJ that operates the evilnow.com website told the St. Petersburg Times that he had in his possession two video tapes. One with the live concert footage and another that may have been the suicide. 

"But I don't know if I believe it," Bugbee told the St. Petersburg Times. "I want some more information.

"Until I see police taking a body out of a home, it could be Billy's girlfriend, for all I know."

The Evilnow.com website has not been updated since before the show was supposed to air. The site claims that an interview with the group’s lead signer was supposed to be aired Monday on RadioFreeSatan.com 

“After being the only person trusted enough to talk one on one with the lead singer of the controversial band HELL ON EARTH., I obtained his first & only full interview... along with the controversial content so many tried to stop.’ reads Bugbee’s statement on his website.  “Not to mention spending the last 72 hrs with Billy, well... I think I have what you're all looking for.” 

The website also promises that the live show will be broadcast and tells readers to keep checking back for more details. 

The name of Bugbee’s radio program seems to be only appropriate under the circumstance, 'Three Ring Radio Show'.  

We were unable to determine what occurred during the program today, but the more this bizarre tales go on, the more it looks like either a publicity stunt or a hoax of the highest order.
