Goose perform onstage at Madison Square Garden on June 28, 2025 in New York City. Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic A 51-year-old man fell to their death Saturday during jam band Goose’s concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
The concertgoer, who was not identified at press time, fell from an “elevated position” inside the arena to a lower tier. “At approximately 9:51 p.m. inside Madison Square Garden, officers observed a 51-year-old male unconscious and unresponsive,” the NYPD told the New York Post in a statement.
The man was soon transported to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The incident remains under investigation, the NYPD added.
“We are deeply saddened and heartbroken to learn of the tragic event that occurred at tonight’s show. We extend our deepest sympathy to everyone affected,” Goose said in a statement following the concert, the band’s second of two sold-out nights at MSG. “Thank you to the emergency personnel and venue staff who stepped in with care and support.”

Despite the incident, Goose’s concert Saturday was unaffected, as the band still performed a full set and encore that was streamed live on Amazon Music. According to witnesses on social media, about seven rows of the lower section where the man fell were taped off by police, and the attendees of that section were re-seated elsewhere in the arena.
