Green Day 'Heartbroken' After Acrobat Death at Music Festival

Tragedy hit Madrid's Mad Cool Festival this weekend just before Green Day was set to perform their headlining set. 

Thirty-one-year-old acrobat Pedro Aunión Monroy fell from a cage during a stunt at the festival on Friday night resulting in his death. Green Day faced criticism for continuing with the performance after the tragic accident—fellow performers Slowdive cancelled their late-Friday set after news of the tragedy broke—but issued an official statement on their website saying they were not informed about the incident until later.
