Dirkschneider’s Peter Baltes (bass) and Alen Brentini (guitar) suffered serious falls and were injured yesterday, July 25th, at Pyraser Classic Rock Night, the annual open-air rock night of the Central Franconian Pyras brewery, in Thalmässing, Germany.
Here is the announcement in U.D.O.’s social media pages: “Notice about the Pyraser Classic Rock Night: During our performance at the Pyraser Classic Rock Night, Peter Baltes and Alen Brentini suffered serious falls due to insufficient safety conditions on stage. Alen suffered several severe contusions and other injuries. Fortunately, despite this, he is in a condition to continue performing. Peter suffered three rib fractures and is being treated at a hospital in Nuremberg. He is likely not to be able to perform for a longer period. Our thoughts are with him, and we wish a speedy and complete recovery. Despite these difficult circumstances, Dirkschneider will continue to perform the scheduled shows as planned. We will release more information as soon as it is available. Thank you very much for the support and for all the messages of well-being sent to Peter and Alen”.
Currently there is no information regarding how Peter Baltes and Alen Brentini fell on stage at the German music festival. More details to be added soon.
We wish Peter and Alen a speedy recovery.
