Trouble in paradise? Five Finger Death Punch had a meltdown onstage during the band's performance in Memphis, Tennessee as part of the Beale Street Music Festival. Reportedly, the band cut its performance short after roughly six songs and walking off stage. This led some fans to speculate they were breaking up. However, the Los Angeles metallers have already dismissed these rumors. The band's frontman, Ivan Moody, has suggested that it was all due to technical problems and that the band fired some of their crew.

A message from Ivan Moody: "There were a lot of technical problems last night that were seemingly unsolvable. We had to make a decision whether to hit the stage crippled, without being able to hear ourselves; or, delay the start of the show - possibly for hours. We decided to proceed, but not being able to hear if I was in key, and just guessing where we were in the song frustrated me to the point that I lost my cool. I'm not saying I handled it appropriately. Matter of fact I've never been so embarrassed before. I apologize for taking out my anger on stage. You guys know me and you know how I pride myself on my live performances. I'd never want this to boil over in to something that epically wrong ever again.

"To some of our crew, good luck in your future endeavors we wish you the best - we also welcome our new monitor engineer Paul Weber. To our fans in Memphis - we'll make it up to you I promise, Houston we will see you tonight. The rest of the world - yes we are coming. And to the haters... wipe that smirk off your face ...We are not going anywhere ... This 'ain't my last dance!' We Got Your Six."




Drummer Jeremy Spencer also denied that the band is splitting up: "We did NOT break up! Thing's went sideways with technical issues. Ivan got pissed and took it out onstage. It was a bad night to say the least. He has since apologized. But we are 100% still a band and look forward to seeing you all on tour!"
