The Smashing Pumpkins 1996-05-11

The May 11, 1996 performance saw the tragic death of fan Bernadette O'Brien (aged 17). At around 10 PM, she was crushed near the front of the stage as excited fans pushed forward from a mosh pit, despite warnings from the band that people were getting hurt. O'Brien was pulled over the barricade by security staff and taken to a hospital, where she died two days later. During the show, the band stopped several times to calm the crowd, and the show was eventually ended early. The band was devastated, especially given that they already had a public stance against moshing. They cancelled the Belfast show scheduled for the following day, and future Smashing Pumpkins tours had fewer shows with open area pits that would allow for moshing.
