In the statement reported by metal website The PRP, manager Larry Mazer said: “While it is a tragedy that a Lamb of God fan died following a performance by the group, in no way do I feel that Randy did anything improper that led to the young man’s injuries and subsequent death.”
He continued: “The price of a ticket to a show does not entitle audience members access to a band’s stage.”
Larry Mazer said he felt Randy Blythe had “responded professionally” to numerous fans rushing the stage.
“We have testimony from the venue operator that acknowledges lax security and an improper barricade being used that evening,” he added.
The fan hit his head when he fell to the concrete floor and died of his injuries 14 days later.
Randy Blythe spent five weeks in the custody of Czech authorities before being released on bail in August. He has been in the US since then.
