ANTHRAX APOLOGISE FOR GIG DISASTER

Rockers ANTHRAX have apologised to fans after their recent performance at an event in New York was unexpectedly cut short.The group was scheduled to perform a 45 minute set at the Red Bull Snowscrapers snowboarding competition in New York on Thursday (05Feb09) night.
But after the contest over-ran their performance was cut to just three songs, with a technical blunder leading to them losing sound during their final track.
A statement released to Blabbermouth.net reads, "We want to apologise to our fans who came out to the Red Bull event last night in the hellish cold to see us play. One of the snowboarding events ran very late, which caused us to delay the start of our set. That, and a curfew we were not informed about snowballed into an unfortunate situation that was beyond our control.
"No one was more surprised than us when they cut the PA before we could finish the third song. We are particularly mortified that this happened.
"Nothing like this has ever happened to Anthrax before, and we regret that it happened last night. Thank you to those who came out to support, and once again, our sincere apologies."
