An Edinburgh singer has spoken of the tragic moment a member of the audience collapsed and died during one of his band's performances in the United States.
Wattie Buchan, lead vocalist in Edinburgh punk rock band The Exploited, has recalled the moment when a fan passed away just 15 minutes into their set in California on May 23.
The packed-out show was forced to go ahead as Wattie claims "there would have been a riot" if the band did not go back on stage following a break for the man who collapsed to receive medical attention.
