Arcade Fire's Reflektor Tour has been compromised. At the "Afterlife" band's Tuesday night concert in Bridgeport, Conn., one of the group's paper maché bobbleheads went missing.
According to a statement made to Brooklyn Vegan, Richard Parry's concert prop was stolen after the show. "We have photos of the theft but rather than press charges we would prefer if the person who took it would get in touch with us to return it," Arcade Fire wrote to the thief, hoping that the incident was little more than a mistake.
Read Arcade Fire's full statement below:
"Richy's bobblehead mask was taken from our show in Bridgeport, CT. This mask is a one of a kind piece that is an essential component to our live show. We have photos of the theft but rather than press charges we would prefer if the person who took it would get in touch with us to return it. Perhaps this is all an innocent mistake and you meant to leave the venue with your own oversized paper mache rendition of Richard Parry's head? Please contact: info@quest-management.com with any information."
The bobbleheads appear before Arcade Fire's encore on the Reflektor Tour. As Consequence of Sound noted, at the Bridgeport show, the band "performed" John Mayer's "Your Body Is A Wonderland" before reemerging as themselves and launching in to "Normal Person."
Luckily for Arcade Fire, it has a few days before its next show. The Reflektor Tour is next due at Mexico City's Vive Latino on March 28.
