Ohio metallers MISS MAY I have released the following statement:"As many of you will have heard, Alberto Scott, a MISS MAY I fan in attendance at our Webster Hall show [in New York City] on Saturday night [May 3], tragically died. We were deeply shocked and saddened to hear this news. We are awaiting a full report from the New York Police Department. In the meantime, we'd ask that all your thoughts and prayers be with his family. We have been made aware of a webpage that is raising funds to help pay for his funeral costs. We will be making a contribution and we'd strongly urge others to do so."The Webster Hall told Brooklyn Vegan that Scott "did not die while stage diving. The patron collapsed while exiting the venue, as video footage and the police corroborate."A photo of Alberto with MISS MAY I frontman Levi Benton can be seen below.MISS MAY I's fourth album, "Rise Of The Lion", was released on April 29 via Rise Records. Benton recently told Metal Hammer about the band's decision to work with Date: "We chose Terry because were all huge PANTERA freaks. If you ever get the chance to work with him, you take it! We've always wanted to work with him but we was always out of our price range. He's the Bentley of producers and we could only afford a Ford. [Laughs]"Regarding the musical direction of MISS MAY I's new material, Benton said: "A lot of it could be considered leftfield for us. I won't go into detail because when you do that, people expect something that they may not particularly hear, but when we finished 'At Heart', we were all stoked and thought we'd thrown everything we had into it. After a couple of years touring and growing, we've come back to writing and have been adding different influences. There's some slower, heavier stuff, thrashier parts and no two songs sound the same. We're doing something to challenge ourselves and our listeners but please both, too."
