Rocker Bathory Missing

Metal band FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH are appealing to fans to help find their guitarist - he went missing after a show in Las Vegas on Friday (18Sep09).

Zoltan Bathory performed with the group in Sin City, and headed to a bar after the concert - but has not been seen since the drinking session.

His bandmates are so concerned for his safety they have contacted officials in Las Vegas in a bid to locate him.

A statement from the band reads, “We have not been able to locate Zoltan from Five Finger Death Punch since Friday night’s show in Las Vegas. He has not responded to calls, text messages, or emails, and he was last seen around 2:00 a.m. Friday night at Wasted Space in the Hard Rock Casino, taking tequila shots at the bar with a group of guys from a bachelor party who came to the show.

“If anybody has any information as to the whereabouts of Zoltan, please email ffdp@prospectpk.com immediately. This is not like him and the band needs to prepare for the upcoming tour. We have already notified the appropriate authorities, but any help Vegas fans might be able to provide is very much appreciated.”

The group’s next scheduled concert is in San Francisco on Tuesday (22Sep09).
