**Breaking News: “I Can’t Take This Anymore,” Michael Poulsen Shouted at the Stage During Performance**
In an unexpected outburst during a live performance, Michael Poulsen, lead singer of the Danish rock band Volbeat, shouted “I can’t take this anymore” before abruptly leaving the stage last night. The incident occurred during the band’s high-energy concert at the iconic Rockwave Festival in Athens, Greece.
Witnesses say Poulsen appeared visibly distressed just moments before the shocking outburst, which left fans stunned. As the band performed their hit “Still Counting,” Poulsen suddenly stopped singing mid-song, threw down his microphone, and made the dramatic statement, before walking offstage. The rest of the band, including guitarist Rob Caggiano and bassist Kasper Boye Larsen, were left momentarily confused, but quickly regained composure and continued playing instrumental portions of the song.
The crowd was left in disbelief, with some fans initially thinking it was part of the show. However, as the minutes passed, it became clear the situation was serious. Security personnel and crew members were seen rushing to the stage, and the concert was halted for nearly 30 minutes while the band discussed the situation behind the scenes.
Volbeat’s management later issued a statement, confirming Poulsen had experienced a personal crisis during the show. “Michael has been dealing with intense pressure and personal challenges. He’s asked for privacy as he takes the time he needs to address this,” the statement read.
This marks the first time in Volbeat’s history that a performance has been interrupted in such a dramatic fashion. Fans have flooded social media with messages of support for the band, particularly for Poulsen, whose emotional outburst has sparked concern and sympathy from all corners of the music world.
Updates regarding Poulsen’s health and the band’s tour schedule are expected in the coming days.
