A Tool fan COLLAPSED at the band’s show in Honolulu, with blood coming out of his mouth. Chest compressions were performed. Police searched the scene for evidence or drugs.
A fan posted on Reddit, “The whole show took a turn at that point, and gave each song a darker tone… not gonna lie… it had a more evil undertone than a spiritual passing of a soul.
Adam actually went to the corner of the stage and played guitar directly to the guy as he was getting compressions.
Like he was trying to bring him back or send him off…
He seems to be the only one in the band who acknowledged the incident.
Maynard just kept doing his dumb little dance moves and Justin almost seemed to want to keep the crowd distracted from the chaos…
I think the band should have recognized the moment and not just ignored the fact that a fan just died at the show.
My guess is the medic team chose to withhold the outcome from the band to keep the show moving forward.
Probably also didn’t want to acknowledge how long it took them to get to the guy.
Nobody gets compressions for over ten minutes like that and survives. Very tragic and sad. And traumatic for that whole side of the venue.
The fact that some people continued to sing and “dance” in the same section that guy just died was a gross display of how awful we are as humans…
How out of touch we are.
Even if it was a drug overdose… it was a tragic night and I feel the people at the show deserve to know the outcome.
Lot of people got traumatized last night.”

Reddit users described the show as extremely impressive, with even songs they previously underrated (“10,000 Days”) being reassessed live after seeing the band’s performance and energy.
• The first Honolulu date sold out so quickly that the band added a second night (Dec. 20) — marking Tool’s first Hawaii performances since 2011, a big deal for local and visiting fans.
Fans noted Tool’s live show is immersive and atmospheric — not just a concert but a “journey” — enhanced by visuals and the band’s tightly controlled performance style. Many attendees appreciated Tool’s strict attitude about phones and presence, a common theme throughout this tour that pushes fans to stay in the moment rather than filming.
