Is the name of the rock band that was planning to show a "live suicide" on stage during their concert in St. Petersburg.
The hard-rock band Hell on Earth had said that a suicide by a terminally ill person would take place during a concert Saturday to raise awareness of right-to-die issues.
The theaters owner cancelled the circus and it seems they are having trouble booking the gig but
Band leader Billy Tourtelot has vowed that the concert and suicide will still take place at an undisclosed location in the city, broadcast live on the band's Web site.
"This show is far more than a typical Hell On Earth performance," Tourtelot said in an e-mail last week. "This is about standing up for what you believe in, and I am a strong supporter of physician-assisted suicide."
Apparently assisting in a suicide is a felony and a manslaughter charge. I wonder if he's willing to go to jail for his beliefs? I bet not.
**Update: Hell on Earth website.
Thats pretty morbid and disgusting, but so much because the band is going to have someone committ suicide. Its a ratings draw pure and simple. There are a lot of freaks who would pay a lot of money to see that, regardless of whether or not they even know who the band is, and thats the REAL reason they are doing it.
Publicity, money, and ratings.. Sad, disgusting world we live sometimes.

So much for progress.
