Man Dies After Motorhead Concert

Man attacked after Leeds gig last Thursday

A man has been killed after attending a Motörhead concert in Leeds on Thursday.

Classic Rock Magazine reports that the man was attacked in the city centre and died after being struck in the head several times. Two men were seen fleeing the scene.

Police believe the incident is connected to an earlier incident during the Motörhead show, in which a friend of Crawford’s had his hair set alight by someone standing nearby.

Det Supt Paul Taylor, leading the inquiry, said:

"There will have been around 2,000 people in the O2 Academy and someone must have seen Mr Crawford’s friend’s hair being set alight. If you can help identify this person, please get in touch.”

Witnesses are asked to contact police on 0845 6060606 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
