Katy Perry puts on an illuminous performance in metallic outfit with suspenders as she continues world tour amid split from Orlando Bloom
The singer, 40, is putting on a brave face since her split from ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom earlier this summer.
Wowing fans at the Bridgestone Arena, which holds 20,000 people, she performed her biggest tracks such as Waking Up In Vegas, I Kissed A Girl, Roar and Never Really Over.
The hitmaker stunned in a metallic-like blue and red outfit that featured daring cutouts and suspenders as she appeared on stage like a Gladiator.
With blue eye shadow and makeup to complete her look, Katy wore her signature black locks down for the high-octane show.
Katy also included props for her set, and could be seen levitating in the arena, despite almost falling due to a malfunction with a prop back in July during her Australian shows.
At the time of the gaffe she was performing in a floating metal sphere when the stage prop seemingly malfunctioned, leaving her stuck in the air.
The floating orb then tilted, as seen in fan-taken footage posted on X, and it appeared as though Katie scrambled to hold on to avoid falling into the crowd.
Katy was supported by internet sensation and singer Rebecca Black who performed before her set began.
Meanwhile, away from her world tour, Katie was recently snapped enjoying a dinner with former Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau, 53, at Le Violon in Montreal on July 28.
The unlikely duo enjoyed cocktails and several different dishes, including one featuring lobster. After dinner, they went into the kitchen to thank the staff for their meal.
Justin then attended Katie's concert two days later where he was snapped standing where he would be easily spotted.
However, Daily Mail recently revealed how relations between the pair have fizzled out, with Trudeau said to be 'irked' by the attention their dinner brought.
A source said: 'I know for a fact that Justin wasn't thrilled about the pictures getting out.
'It was a first date. A first date! And these pictures came out and it became this huge thing, which is not what he seems to have wanted.
'Katy didn't seem to care nearly as much, but he was the one who was bothered. It didn't chase him away or anything, but it wasn't ideal.'
Earlier this week, Katy shared a rare photo of her four-year-old daughter Daisy as she travels with her mum across the United States.
After playing a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden in New York City last week, Perry took to Instagram to share a series of photos her and her daughter exploring the East Coast.
The cover photo for her post showed her posing underneath an MSG sign while her daughter played with a toy dog in the venue referred to as 'The World's Most Famous Arena.'
Perry also included photos of herself and her daughter visiting the Boston Museum of Science in Massachusetts.
In a couple of the snapshots, Perry captured Daisy posing in a spacecraft similar to the one that Perry traveled in when she went on an 11-minute suborbital flight with Jeff Bezos's now-wife Lauren Sanchez and the rest of Blue Origin's all-female crew.
Perry and Bloom made headlines in June when it was reported that the pair had called off their engagement and that their 'relationship was over.'
The former couple were together for nearly a decade.
While confirming their split in a statement the following month, Perry and Bloom said Daisy remained their 'shared priority.'
The exes reunited while vacationing in Italy and again in Australia, where Perry was touring in June, to spend time together with their daughter.
Perry's split from her ex-fiancé Bloom came to light in June, six years after they got engaged in 2019. Katy gave birth to Daisy the following year.

Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori debuts bizarre new look after taking on stepmom role to Kim Kardashian's kids
Kanye West 's second wife Bianca Censori seems to be dialing down the drama in her wardrobe as she leans into her stepmom duties. Known for leaving little to the imagination — from her skimpy ensembles to the jaw-dropping birthday suit moment at this year's Grammys — Bianca has long blurred the line between fashion and provocation, even sparking debates over public decency across Italy and Spain. But earlier this month, after chaperoning three of Kanye's four kids with ex Kim Kardashian in a surprisingly modest look, the 30-year-old designer appeared to be taking a more covered-up approach. She debuted what might be her most unexpected outfit yet on Wednesday, exiting a Los Angeles movie theater fully clad from head to toe. Swapping her usual flesh-flashing style, Bianca kept skin under wraps in an oversized trench coat and a newsy cap. She didn't skimp on drama, though, strutting in thigh-high silver metallic boots that brought the sparkle back to her look. Earlier in August, Bianca was spotted loading into a Cadillac Escalade with Kanye and Kim's daughter Chicago, seven; and their sons Saint, nine; and Psalm, six. Missing from action as was Kanye and Kim's eldest daughter North West, 12. The rapper, 48, reportedly pays 44-year-old reality star Kim $200K a month in child support as part of their 20/80 custody arrangement for the four kids they welcomed during their six-year marriage, which ended in 2021. The movie theater outing comes on the heels of the explosive YouTube documentary In Whose Name?, filmed over six years by director and producer Nico Ballesteros, who was just 18 when he started following West while he was still married to Kardashian. In the newly released teaser, Kardashian can be seen breaking down as she pleaded with West after he stopped taking his medication. In shocking clips, he says he would rather 'be dead than be on medication' amid his bipolar diagnosis. Earlier this year, West claimed bipolar disorder was a misdiagnosis and said he has since been correctly diagnosed with autism, which he emphasized is not a mental illness. It remains unclear whether Censori, who joined the Yeezy team in 2020 as an architect before starting a romance with West, will make an appearance in the documentary. The day after the documentary trailer dropped, Censori shared a rare glimpse of the 21-time Grammy winner during what appeared to be a steamy tropical getaway. Their vacation comes on the heels of jaw-dropping split rumors earlier this year. Back in March, West seemed to fuel speculation himself when he leaked a new song titled Bianca, in which he claimed she 'tried to get him committed.' The track is part of his upcoming album WW3, which has yet to be released, though DJ Akademiks — who recently sat down for a bombshell interview with West — shared a snippet online. Lyrics uploaded to Genius seemed to confirm the swirling split rumors at the time. Despite the chatter, the couple appears to be going strong — either never actually split, or reunited after a brief separation. Last month, West slammed shocking allegations from his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, who claims he engaged in kidnapping, battery, rape, false imprisonment, and sex trafficking between 2021 and 2023 in an amended complaint. A Yeezy spokesperson told 'We stand ready to annihilate Ms. Pisciotta's tall tales before a jury — an exoneration so inevitable that even she, lost in her fog of fantasy, must surely see it coming.' But Pisciotta's attorney, Lisa Bloom, fired back: 'Kanye himself has publicly admitted much of what she's claiming. Kanye's publicist is deafeningly silent on Kanye's own admissions, which will destroy him in court. We look forward to seeing him there, where he cannot hide behind a high-priced spin team.' Despite the legal firestorm, the hip-hop star — who still averages 60 million monthly listeners on Spotify — is moving ahead with his music, set to release his 11th studio album, Bully, on September 26. Ye is next scheduled to perform live on November 29 in São Paulo, Brazil. Indecent Exposure Earlier this month, Kanye and Bianca walked the red carpet during the 67th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. The Heartless rapper wore an all-black ensemble while Censori wore a long, fuzzy black coat. However, at one point, she turned her back towards the cameras and dramatically let the outer piece fall to the floor. Bianca wore a sheer, flesh-colored minidress and opted to not wear anything underneath - with social media users condemning the 'disturbing' look and one calling the action 'indecent exposure.' Others expressed concern for the architect, with one penning: 'Can someone explain why this is cool?' 'Because to me, it's giving exploitation, trafficking. It's so weird and he objectifies her in front of the world. Someone help her, jeez,' they added, while another shared, 'She's clearly looking stressed out.' His commands to Censori moments before she removed the coat were revealed by lip reader Nicola Hicklin on TikTok. At one point, Hicklin claimed that West told Bianca, 'You're making a scene now,' and she responded by nodding her head. The lip reader added that the music artist also told her, ''Make a scene, I'll say it'll make so much sense.' Kanye - who also goes by Ye - then said, 'Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you.' Censori replied with, 'Alright let's go.' Bianca is no stranger to parading around in public in racy outfits since marrying the rapper. Some of her X-rated ensembles in the past included when she wore a nude bodysuit while clutching a purple pillow to her chest while in Italy with West in 2023. Last year she exposed her breasts in a completely see-through netted top as she made her way to the Melrose Tanning Company salon, opting not to wear a bra. She also previously eschewed a top in favor of bandage-like halter suspenders that only covered her nipples. A source previously told that Censori's father Leo had demanded that both his daughter and Kanye go to Australia to address his concerns over her racy looks. Just one month before, the rapper's ex Kim Kardashian requested that Bianca 'cover up' when around their four children. Kanye claims 'dominion' over Bianca West has claimed Bianca can't wear anything without his approval. After Bianca shocked the world when she attended the music awards completely naked under a sheer dress, exposing her breasts and genitals, Kanye lashed back at critics and claimed 'dominion' over his wife. The stunt made global headlines and many of Kanye's followers were quick to accuse the rapper of being 'abusive' and 'controlling' while using his wife's body 'as clout'. Addressing the backlash amid a vile anti-Semitic, sexist and homophobic rant in February, Kanye claimed that he has 'dominion' over Bianca but insisted he would never force her to wear anything she didn't feel comfortable in. He tweeted: 'I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE THIS AINT NO WOKE AS FEMINIST S**T SHES WITH A BILLIONAIRE WHY WOULD SHE LISTEN TO ANY OF YOU DUMB A** BROKE B*****S. 'PEOPLE SAY THE RED CARPET LOOK WAS HER DECISION YES I DONT MAKE HER DO NOTHING SHE DOESNT WANT TO BUT SHE DEFINITELY WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL YOU STUPID A** WOKE PAWNS.' He carried on his rant in the early hours, penning: 'Anyone who called my wife's Grammy look a stunt is dumb and laaaame yes youuuu.' 'She been dressing naked for 2 years. Now all of a sudden it's a stunt. Every single b***h on the planet wish they had her bravery body platform and access to money and a husband that supported they personal expression. 'There are a lot of things that had to converge for this moment to happen.' Since Kanye married Bianca in 2022 fans have expressed concern over her wellbeing, with the Australian architect continuously seen parading around in various states of undress. A day later he doubled down on his 'dominion' claims as he launched into another anti-Semitic rant where he targeted Jewish women. 'TO ALL JEWISH HUSBANDS COME GET YOUR B***H I JUST F****D THE SHIT OUT OF HER AND DONT WANNA HEAR HER YAPPING.' He continued, writing, 'There's a sweet Jewish named Jill with the best taste that lives in New York sending love to you from me and my wife i am speaking on behalf of my wife since i have dominion over her which is quite different than the dynamic i've seen at every shabbat i've been to.' Addressing the backlash amid a vile anti-Semitic, sexist and homophobic rant in February, Kanye claimed that he has 'dominion' over Bianca but insisted he would never force her to wear anything she didn't feel comfortable in A day later he doubled down on his 'dominion' claims as he launched into another anti-Semitic rant where he targeted Jewish women Bianca 'traumatized' by Kanye's vile rants Earlier this month it was reported that Bianca was left so 'traumatized' by Kanye's vile antisemitic diatribe that she is now refusing to continue shooting their new film. Bianca is playing the lead in a fictional art film, partly shot in Japan and co-created by West, and their creative circle, with a focus on the female body as 'something to showcase'. But she is reportedly struggling to recover from his repulsive rampage on X which saw him post a slew of antisemitic, homophobic and sexist slurs, as well as using his Yeezy website to sell a $20 white T-shirt featuring a swastika. The shocking three-day spree has left the fate of their $25 million film in jeopardy, with two producers on the verge of walking out, can reveal. 'Bianca is deeply traumatised by Ye's actions, and she does not align with these views at all,' an insider said. 'She is horrified by what he has done, as are so many people close to Ye. 'She is so put off by this that she is currently refusing to continue shooting.' They said the film is 'entirely funded' by the couple. Censori, an architecture graduate, had been described as a 'brilliant actress' after taking on the lead in the all-female cast. was previously told the production would deal with how 'shame over being naked is not natural to humans' and that 'obscenity exists only in the mind.' Shooting recently wrapped in Japan but was scheduled to continue at an undisclosed location. This is now on hold with its future 'uncertain' if Censori does not return. 'The situation is now at a standstill, as two producers involved in the project are on the cusp of quitting over his antisemitic rants,' the source said. 'With production paused over Bianca's refusal to continue, the future is uncertain.' West made mention of the film on X hours after their headline-grabbing red carpet stunt at the Grammys which saw Censori turn her back to photographers, drop her fur coat and expose her naked body underneath a sheer nude dress. 'My wife's first red carpet opened a whole new world,' wrote the Grammy-winner. 'I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot. 'She took a break from shooting her first film to make a movie in real life.' West renewed his attack on the Jewish community last week, referring to himself as a Nazi, claiming he 'loved Hitler,' and insisting that he will never 'trust or work with Jewish people' again. 'IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS I CAN SAY WHATEVER THE F**K I WANNA SAY FOREVER WHERES MY F***ING APOLOGY FOR FREEZING MY ACCOUNTS SUCK MY D**K HOWS THAT FOR AN APOLOGY,' he wrote. Hours later he promoted his 'greatest performance art piece thus far' – a swastika T-shirt – during the Super Bowl. His Yeezy site was swiftly suspended by its hosts Shopify, with Isla Fisher and David Schwimmer spearheading a growing number of celebrities condemning him. The site closure was said to be a 'blow' for Censori as it had become a 'key source of income for them both, and she does not know how to recover from this.' 'When he endorsed the sale of items bearing a swastika and the phrase 'Hail Hitler' this crossed a line because his repulsive and hateful attack could have dangerous consequences,' the source said. The controversial artist, who recently claimed he was autistic after allegedly being misdiagnosed as bi-polar, unfurled a succession of shocking tweets over the weekend which included an array of anti-Semitic, homophobic and sexist slurs, as well as pornographic content, which saw his X account deactivated. Lewd Act on a Boat In Italy The pair are certainly no strangers to making global headlines. West and Censori caused a firestorm in August 2023 when they appeared to engage in an intimate act while on a boat ride in Venice, Italy. The pair were spotted enjoying an amorous moment on a water taxi as West exposed his bare buttocks in front of gawking tourists. Images of the couple showed the American rapper seated at the back of the river taxi while his wife placed her head in his lap. Venezia Turismo Motoscafi, the company that rented the boat to West and Censori, later confirmed to Daily Mail that the couple were 'no longer welcome' aboard their watercraft. In a statement, the company condemned the pair's bawdy activity and confirmed the driver was 'completely unaware' what occurred on the boat. 'On board, the driver had to keep a lookout for traffic and did not see these obscenities. If this had happened, he would have immediately disembarked and reported the transgressors to those in authority,' the company said. 'In addition, there was a third person on board the taxi, who accompanied Mr and Mrs West, who obstructed the captain's view to the stern in any case.' The third person was a woman who has been pictured chaperoning West and Censori during their Italian holiday. The company went on to denounce the couple's explicit display, saying: 'We completely dissociate ourselves from such acts and behaviour.' 'Mr West and his wife will certainly no longer be welcome on board our company's boats.' Meanwhile critics said the bawdy display was 'disrespectful' to residents of the conservative Catholic nation. A month later, West and Censori were spotted strolling through Italy while the Aussie went topless, holding a purple cushion to cover her breasts. Expert claims Kanye is 'dominating and controlling' Bianca A body language expert previously said that it appears like Kanye is 'dominating and controlling' Bianca based on their demeanors - revealing that all the 'affection' has disappeared from their relationship. Their over-the-top outfits and indecent behavior ignited fierce concern for Bianca's wellbeing among social media users - and even her friends. Body language expert Judi James has analyzed their interactions for - warning that Bianca's 'wary glances' and 'blank' stares hint that she has a 'desire to stop' the outlandish acts. She also noticed a 'lack of connection' between her and the rapper - and theorized that while they continue to put on a united front to the millions of people who are watching on, their relationship may be falling apart behind the scenes when the cameras aren't on them. 'Either these two are creating some bizarre form of performance art in a bid to gain attention and publicity or this is Kanye doing what looks like an extreme version of what he has been accused of before - dominating his partner and controlling her wardrobe choices,' she said. Kanye slammed for posting 'creepy' pictures of Bianca wearing barely any clothes Last year West was eviscerated by his own fans for sharing 'creepy' photos of Bianca on Instagram. He raised eyebrows by sharing three photos of Bianca to his 18.4M followers, with one captioned: 'No pants this year'. In the images, Bianca was seen posing around the couple's home wearing an extremely revealing bra, G-string, leather corset, stockings and a fur stole that barely covered her modesty. Fans were quick to express their distaste, with many urging Kanye to stop sharing explicit photos of Bianca for the sake of his children. 'This is kind of creepy because she's your wife, and you're treating her like a human dominatrix doll... not it,' one wrote, as another begged: 'Stop prostituting your partner.' 'At this point, you're turning a beautiful young woman into something you own and play with, not something you cherish,' yet another added. Others claimed Kanye's posts contradicted his Christian values. 'He preaches Christianity and then does things like this,' one disappointed follower wrote. Bianca's father fears that West is turning the architect into 'a tacky naked trophy' In 2024 it was reported that Bianca's convict father wanted a sit down and talk with Kanye over fears the rapper was pushing his daughter away from her family and turning her into a 'trashy commodity,' insiders have claimed. His request came as the Yeezy designer was pictured wearing no underwear underneath a pair of sheer stockings while out to dinner with the controversial musician in Paris, France - a look that could land her in prison or be forced to pay a hefty fine due to France's indecency laws. Insiders have told that Bianca's family is 'hurting' at watching their loved one being paraded around like a 'trophy pony' and have questioned how Kanye would feel in the future if a man was treating his daughters, North and Chicago, in the same way. 'Bianca's father Leo wants to have a proper sit down with Kanye and ask him what the hell he is thinking when he parades Bianca around like a trashy naked trophy pony,' said a source close to the Yeezy architect - whose father is the brother of a notorious gangland killer. 'He wants to ask Kanye what he would do if his daughters North, or Chicago, were seen in public half-naked in outfits encouraged by their husbands. 'He knows that there is no way in hell that Kanye would allow this for his daughters so it makes no sense why he would encourage this for his own wife.' Kanye has also been accused of 'shutting her out' from her family in Australia. 'If this isn't bad enough, the man who is supposed to protect Mr. and Mrs. Censori's daughter is the same man that is shutting her out from her own family,' the insider continued. 'Leo honestly wants to just sit Kanye down to let him know that he is hurting her family by turning his beloved daughter into a trashy-looking marketable commodity.' They finished: 'No man should ever encourage the woman that he loves to walk out in public and present herself like this. That isn't love. That is control.' Kim Kardashian tells ex-husband Kanye to make Bianca COVER UP when she's around their children Last year, Kim warned Kanye to tell Bianca to 'cover up' and refrain from wearing her infamously-scandalous outfits around their children, insiders have claimed. Kim, 44, is said to have an amicable relationship with Bianca – but is reportedly not a fan of her parading her risqué fashion in front of North, 11, Saint, nine, Chicago, seven and Psalm, five, whom she shares with the rapper. 'Kim instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their kids,' a source told exclusively. 'She is truly surprised that Kanye would let his wife leave the house like that.' Unlike Bianca's raunchy wardrobe, Kim was asked to change her outfits if Kanye felt she was showing too much skin, with the artist heavily influencing her fashion choices during their seven-year marriage. 'Kanye did the same thing he is doing with Bianca to Kim throughout their marriage,' the source continued. 'The difference is that when Kanye dressed Kim, he was respected as a person – as an artist. 'Unfortunately, Kim knows what Bianca is going through – but she feels Bianca should have known what she was getting into.' The billionaire SKIMS founder talked openly about Kanye's influence over her fashion choices throughout their relationship. In a 2018 interview with W Magazine, she said: 'I always thought I had really good style – until I met my husband, and he told me that I had the worst style.' And in an episode of Keeping Up with The Kardashians, she said: 'Kanye has always dressed me. In the early 2000s, he would literally just send me random emails with all these looks and what my style should be.' When Kim disagreed with her husband's advice, he told her: 'You are my wife, and it affects me when pictures are too sexy.' Kanye previously criticized Kim's SKIMS brand for being 'overly sexualized.'She also revealed that he disapproved of her 2019 Thierry Mugler Met Gala dress, branding her corset a 'form of underwear' the night before the event.

Family with ties to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift launch fight against Donald Trump with run for Congress
Jason and Travis Kelce could soon have a powerful ally on Capitol Hill. The Super Bowl-winning brothers currently employ the son of Democrat Peter Chatzky, a candidate for U.S. Congress in New York's 17th district, which sits in the lower Hudson River valley. The younger Chatzky, a lead social media producer named Jake, promoted his father's congressional bid online Wednesday, writing on X: 'HEALTHCARE IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT.' As you can probably guess, his father is running on a pro-healthcare platform aimed at helping the roughly 60,000 uninsured people Westchester, Rockland and Duchess counties. To announce his campaign, the elder Chatzky wrote an op-ed for sharing his family's struggles with his son's early health problems and criticizing the Republicans' healthcare agenda. '[President Donald] Trump and his cronies in Congress have slashed Medicaid and limited our access to the Affordable Care Act,' Chatzky wrote. 'As many as 15 million Americans will lose coverage. It's estimated there will be 51,000 preventable deaths a year.' The Kelce brothers have not publicly responded to the campaign, which isn't a surprise, given their usual reluctance to rock the boat, politically. Their significant others, Kylie Kelce and Taylor Swift, have long established their opposition to the current White House regime. Kylie, Jason's wife, told The New York Times in December that she does 'aggressively lean' to the left. Meanwhile Swift, Travis' pop-star girlfriend, has publicly opposed Trump in both of the last two elections. Trump, on the other hand, has gone from praising Swift online in 2012 ('Taylor is terrific!') to predicting doom for her and Travis in September of 2023. 'I hope they enjoy their life, maybe together, maybe not,' he told the Daily Caller. 'Most likely not.' Trump grew angrier with Swift in February of 2024. 'I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists,' Trump wrote online. 'Joe Biden didn't do anything for Taylor, and never will. There's no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money. 'Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can't stand me!' Trump has since described Swift as 'unusually beautiful' before declaring 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!' after she endorsed Kamala Harris in September of last year. Of course, Peter Chatzky's congressional run has nothing to do with Swift or the Kelces, for that matter. The candidate did not reference his son's famous employers at New Heights, nor the overwhelming success of the show's recent interview with Swift. Still, like Swift, Chatzky has been a thorn in Trump's side for several years. In addition to running a small tech company, he previously served as mayor and deputy mayor of Briarcliff Manor, where he fought against Trump's plans for the Trump National Golf Club Westchester. According to Chatzky's website, the now-former mayor organized neighbors against the plans and prevented Trump's 'army of lawyers from steamrolling the village.' As The New York Times later wrote of the battle in 1999: 'During negotiations, Mr. Trump has abandoned some of his more grandiose plans and scaled back both projects. For instance, he reduced the size of the proposed clubhouse at Briar Hall from 81,500 square feet to 39,400.' Chatzky continued his attacks on Trump in his op-ed. 'If we collectively call for bold, transformative policies, including universal healthcare, then we will demonstrate to Americans that we are serious about using the immense power of the federal government not to serve ourselves as Trump does, but to serve the people,' he wrote.

Excited fan collapses and DIES during Colorado rock concert as devastated brother reveals his final moments
A fan collapsed and died at a King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard concert over the weekend. Mathew Gawiak, 36, complained of feeling dizzy before falling over while watching the Australian band at their Field of Vision Festival in Denver, Colorado, on Friday. Fans had to alert the band to the medical emergency happening within the crowd as they called out for medical responders one hour into their set. Guitarist Joey Walker announced to the crowd that help was on its way and asked those in attendance to part ways to allow for medical teams through. Gawiak had been with his brother Christopher who posted about his final moments to a fan page on Reddit. In it, he described his brother as a 'diehard gizzard fan, loving husband and best concert buddy'. Christopher explained how his brother had complained of feeling dizzy and that he had tried to escort him out when he collapsed. 'He dropped to the floor, and was unresponsive. Luckily, there were 2 trauma nurses in the crowd who responded quickly and started CPR while we fought off the overzealous and sent runners for paramedics to take him to the medical tent', he said. He added: 'They fought to stabilize him for almost two hours. They could only maintain any kind of pulse with massive doses of epinephrine. 'They had to call in an ambulance because they ran out. For all intents and purposes, I watched my brother die right in front of me and I was powerless to do anything about it.' He also said that while details on how his brother died were not yet known he had a 'very complicated' medical history, revealing he was a child cancer survivor. Christopher also shared a GoFundMe page to the page that he said was set up by his sister-in-law Allison to help with funeral costs. In it, she wrote: 'Matt was a loving and beloved husband, son, brother, uncle and friend. He was the love of my life and my best friend, he was the kindest most genuine person that I've ever met. 'His passions included playing guitar, camping, skiing, traveling, cooking, live music, and above all else, sharing those experiences with the people he loved. 'He got his masters and had a fulfilling career as a geospatial scientist. His goal in life was to make the people he loved happy. 'I find some peace knowing that he was surrounded by music and a community that was special to him and that he was truly happy in the moments before he tragically passed away.' So far the fundraiser, which can be found here, has already raised over $53,000 as of Wednesday afternoon. According to Gawiak's LinkedIn profile he worked for real estate investment trust Prologis as a Senior Geographic Information System Analyst A joint statement from the band and the venue said: 'Regarding the incident, we are deeply saddened to share that on Friday night, a guest passed away due to an unexpected medical event during the King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard concert at Meadow Creek despite the best efforts from emergency teams. 'We are sending our love and condolences to their family, friends, and the entire King Gizzard community.' The band had been livestreaming the concert on their YouTube page at the time, but the video has now been removed.
