SEATTLE (AP) - After nine fans died in a frenzied crush during a
Pearl Jam concert in Denmark, the Seattle band considered breaking
up.
``I think the thought crossed all of our minds, but it wouldn't
have been a good way to end it all,'' guitarist Mike McCready told
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in a phone interview Thursday.
McCready said the band was devastated after the events at the June
30 Roskilde Festival. Fans rushed the stage, crushing nine
concertgoers to death and seriously injuring three others. The
band appealed to the crowd to move back but couldn't prevent the
massive surge.
Pearl Jam decided to keep on going.
``We realized we're making viable music,'' McCready said. ``We
can't stop. We can't end on a down note.''
