Make Them Suffer are currently touring across Europe supporting the World Alive’s tenth anniversary. Unfortunately, during their stop last night (12th) in Leipzig, Germany, keyboardist Booka Nile revealed she was groped while performing on stage.
Booka issued the following statement:
“Tonight I was groped by a patron while I played on stage. I am fucking pissed. I’m a person and this is my job. If you think it’s okay to come to my work and act with such gross disrespect then stay at home because you’re not fucking welcome at our shows”

The Australian metal outfit shared the following response:
“Tonight our keyboardist, Booka was groped by an audience member who crowd surfed onto stage. We are a united front who want to say that this behaviour repugnant and unacceptable. Anyone who thinks this is in any way okay is not welcome at our shows.”

We are almost at the halfway mark of 2019 and sadly have to explain that groping such as this is unacceptable.
