NOFX’ Fat Mike Issues Warning After Fan Dies From Head Injury

Fat Mike from NOFX has paid tribute to a fan who died after one of their shows, whilst also issuing a warning about taking care of yourself when drinking.

Samuel Pollas, aged 20, sadly died after the punks played a show at Copenhagen‘s Den Gra Hal venue on June 15. He hit his head on the ground, and despite feeling unwell afterwards, went home and went to sleep instead of getting checked out by a doctor.

“This is Samuel,” wrote Fat Mike next to a black and white photo. “He was 20. He hit his head on the ground at our show in Copenhagen. He was nauseated and dizzy, but decided to go home and sleep. He never woke up. Our hearts go out to his mother and friends.”

The bassist/vocalist also posted a message from Samuel‘s mother, saying:

“If you’re drunk and hit your head, do not go to bed without getting it checked. let none of your friends walk home alone after a fall or blow to the head.
Take care of yourselves and each other.

Wise words.
RIP Sammy”

Out toughts are with Samuel‘s family and friends. Stay safe, people!
