Randy Blythe charged with manslaughter

After months of the case being up in the air, last Friday, Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe was been charged with manslaughter.

Blythe is charged with causing bodily harm resulting in death, following claims that he pushed a fan from the stage during a gig in 2010. If convicted, he could face up to ten years in prison.

Blythe spent five weeks detained by Czech authorities when the details of the 2010 incident arose following Lamb of God’s visit to Prague to play a scheduled gig. After being released on bail, Blythe said he would return to the Czech Republic to defend himself if the case came to trial.
