Man dies during Fleetwood Mac tribute gig in Edinburgh

A man has died during a Fleetwood Mac tribute act performance at Edinburgh's Usher Hall.

Edinburgh Live reports that multiple ambulances and police vehicles rushed to the entertainment venue on the capital's Lothian Road at 7.30pm on May 5.

Tragically, police have confirmed that a 62-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene after suddenly passing away during the concert.

Emergency services attended for around an hour before taking the deceased from the scene.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 7.35pm on Thursday, 5 May, police were called to the Lothian Road area of Edinburgh, following the sudden death of a 62-year-old man.

"There are no suspicious circumstances and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal."

The city centre venue had been playing host to Rumours of Fleetwood Mac, a hugely popular Fleetwood tribute act that has played to crowds across the world.

In the past the mock band has even featured founder member and drummer Mick Fleetwood and former guitarist Rick Vito as guest stars on tour.

The Record previously described the act's performance as: "It would be hard, if not impossible, to find a more credible, authentic or talented tribute to any band anywhere."
