Guitarist Pete Evick said in a statement, "In the 9 years I’ve stood next to [Bret], I’ve never seen a look like the one on his face as if I was a complete stranger. ... He returned to the stage only to announce that he could not continue. ... When I rushed to the bus he could [barely] speak, but begged me to apologize to the fans and seemed only concerned for them."
