A fan has died at a Smashing Pumpkins concert in Canada.

The man was attending their gig in Vancouver on September 24th and was involved in what the police have called “mosh pit or crowd-surfing incident”. The man was unconscious when removed from the crowd and was transferred to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A spokeswoman for the venue said: “It’s just a really, really sad ending to what started out to be probably a very fun night for a young man.”

A really sad ending? No shit…
