Obituary offers reward for stolen backdrop

Obituary is asking fans for assistance in locating their backdrop (i.e. stage banner), which was stolen over the weekend in the Netherlands. Here's the official word:
"This is a post that we hoped would never have to happen but we need to let our fans know the situation and hope that one of you can help us. Saturday, at Stonehenge Festival in Steenwijk, Holland somebody stole our BackDrop. It happened right after our performance while we were packing up our equipment. Here is a photo of it so, if you know who has it or think you might know anything about this Please helps us get it back! Can't describe how important it is to us and it really sucks for the band and the fans these remaining shows to see Obituary without it hanging! Real Bummer!! We are Offering a Reward to the person who helps us get it back. Please, let us know if you have any information about this. Email us at: fans@obituary.cc" Obituary backdrop

"Can't describe how important it is to us and it really sucks for the band and the fans these remaining shows to see Obituary without it hanging!" Yeah otherwise it's fans won't be able to identify what band is playing.

It's hanging on the wall next to my Farah Fawcett and Cheryl Tiegs posters! Guess that show's my age.

Now, before they perform, they'll just have verbally announce in a deep guttural growl "We are... Obitchuryyyyeah!"

Has the great banner thief been approached about it? https://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=6pglGR7nh70

Man, I was only gonna go to this show to view their backdrop, I didn't want to see their shitty performance or hear their shitty music. Without the backdrop there is no point in going. Tickets for sale!

anonymous 7/29/2014 2:24:44 PM

In the infamoust words of some Obituary lyrics..."I dont care"

anonymous 7/30/2014 11:31:41 AM

kickstarter a new one like every other band in any other bullshit situation...... Also, For someone to steal this would not be that easy, and therefore, Obituary and the crew are dumb. To the person that stole it... you shoulda stole a better one if your making that effort.
