During Falling In Reverse’s performance at the Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival in Columbus, OH, on Friday (17th), drummer Luke Holland and guitarist Christian Thompson sustained minor burns from stage pyro. The band’s latest single, “Ronald,” was interrupted and restarted several times due to the incident. Video footage of the mishap can be viewed below:
We had to stop the set a couple times because of the pyro. Yes I’m okay, powered through it, light burns on my left arm. Still crushed the show & all the fans were amazing for still going crazy for us. But this video shows the flames were basically touching me pic.twitter.com/St8NiMMJ47

At the end of this song was where it really started to burn my left arm. If someone has the end of the song on video, you can see me struggling to survive & play the song https://t.co/On1A78az7j

Welp, that was a first. Arm is burnt to SHIT from the stage pyro. Sorry we had to stop twice because of the fire malfunction. Thanks to the crowd for still going INSANE for us. Time to heal up pic.twitter.com/xy6BSvpXen
