Death Cab For Cutie Explain Onstage Mishap In Charleston

Earlier this week, it was reported that Ben Gibbard, frontman of Death Cab For Cutiestormed off stage at a concert in Charleston, S.C. Bandmate Nick Harmer has said that Gibbard wasn’t having the diva moment everyone thought he was. 

Speaking to Billboard while at Firefly Music Festival, Harmer explained how the event was a “non-story really,” and that the entire group was experiencing some technical difficulties. "It got spun as we left the stage mid-set,” Harmer described. "It was the last 20 seconds of the last song, and all of Ben's equipment failed at the exact kind of unrelated moment there was a giant fight in front of us."
