During Slipknot’s headline set at Rockville on Thursday (November 11), frontman Corey Taylor addressed last weekend’s Astroworld tragedy, reminding the audience to “look out for one another”.

“I’m not going to bring everything down but I feel like it needs to be said,” he told the Florida crowd. “One of the wonderful things about this genre, about this audience, about this family is that we look out for one another.”

“This is supposed to be a place of celebration, of love and about looking out for one another,” he continued. “And everybody that’s ever been in a fucking mosh pit knows, if somebody goes down, you get them right the fuck back up. So I want you all to hold on to the memory of those eight souls that we lost.”






He added: “But I also want you to remember this. No matter what show you go to, if you’ve got eyes, you keep them open, you keep them focused and you look out for one another.”

Meanwhile, Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl recently opened up about being diagnosed with a curved spine when he was a child.
