The
rock
band
Hell
on
Earth
will
go
ahead
with
an
onstage
suicide
during
a
small
private
performance
in
St.
Petersburg,
Fla.,
despite
an
emergency
city
law
banning
the
use
of
suicide
in
any
kind
of
show
or
advertising.
Initially
planned
for
a
large
public
venue,
the
event
will
now
take
place
at
an
undisclosed
private
location.
"The
show
will
go
on,"
said
Billy
Tourtelot,
33,
the
band
leader.
"It
will
be
available
on
the
Internet
and
it
will
be
in
the
city
limits."
He
claimed
the
purpose
is
to
highlight
the
need
for
legalized
doctor-assisted
suicide.
"This
person
will
be
doing
this
self-deliverance
totally
by
themselves,
on
[sic]
their
own
accord,"
he
said.
St.
Petersburg
council
member
Bill
Foster
commented,
"While
I
still
think
it's
a
publicity
stunt,
we
still
couldn't
sit
idly
by
and
let
somebody
lose
their
life."
However,
the
emergency
legislation
provides
for
only
a
maximum
60
days
in
jail
and
a
$500
fine.
