Great White

2008 – Great White is trying to settle the lawsuits they face over the deadly Station Nightclub fire and in the process have put a price on the lives of the fans that died in the blaze: $10,000.

E! has more details: The “Once Bitten, Twice Shy”-dispensing ’80s hard-rock band will pay $1 million to settle lawsuits resulting from the deadly 2003 Rhode Island nightclub fire that took the lives of 100 people, including the group’s own guitarist, Ty Longley.

Federal court documents released Tuesday revealed Great White made the offer to survivors and family members of victims to settle its role in the inferno at the Station. The blaze was touched off when stage pyrotechnics ignited flammable soundproofing foam.
