“He wants to come on stage and play Joey’s guitar part with you guys to honor his friend. We’ll do that”: Fan plays guitar onstage with King Gizzard in memory of his friend who died in an avalanche
Australian experimental band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are known for their ardent Grateful Dead-esque fandom and giving back to their community. A recent show in Boston was no exception, as the band invited a fan to play guitar with them on stage to pay tribute to his friend, who passed away in an avalanche.
In a video captured by fans, frontman Stu Mackenzie can be seen saying, “If you guys can see it [referring to a fan sign], this young friend here, he said his friend Joey died in an avalanche. That sucks.”
