Music community gathers to help local band member with legal bills

Posted: Updated:
RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) -

The heavy metal music community in Richmond got together Friday night to help a local band member in trouble pay his legal bills.

Lead singer of "Lamb of God", Randy Blythe, is back in Richmond.

Several bands are helping raise money at the Canal Club - performing and selling t-shirts, even cupcakes to help with Randy's hefty legal bills.

Blythe is accused of pushing a fan off the stage, in Prague, two years ago. The man later died from his injuries.

Blythe was released from a 'Czech prison' - but not before paying a $400,000 bond.

The band tweeted earlier this month that they have plans to go back on tour, possibly in late October.
