July 14, 2008

MOTÖRHEAD kicked off its performance Saturday night (July 12) at the Norway Rock Festival by observing one minute of silence for the two people who were found dead in a bus on the festival camp earlier in the day. Fan-filmed video footage of this extraordinary gesture can be viewed below.

The victims were found in and near a bus at the Norway Rock Festival in Kvinesdal village, 270 miles (430 kilometers) southwest of Oslo, Agder Police District chief Asbjorn Enoksen said.

Preliminary hospital reports indicated carbon monoxide poisoning could have been a cause, according to The Associated Press.

The three-day festival ending Saturday drew crowds of 5,000-6,000 people each day for music acts including ALICE COOPER, HELLOWEEN and SOILWORK.
