Authorities are now seemingly claiming that Blythe is responsible for the fan's death.A translated statement from local Prague police reads as follows: "We have arrested the singer and charged him with the crime of bodily harm of 4th degree and resulting in the death of the fan.".
Maria Ferrero, a spokesperson for Lamb Of Gold told the Examiner that Blythe was was "wrongfully accused," adding that the "lawyers are dealing with it, and we expect him to be fully exonerated."
Lamb Of God, who are currently touring the world in support of their new album 'Resolution', have spoken briefly about the situation on Twitter, simply writing: "Freerandyblythe". - NME
