February 20

2003 - 100 people died after pyrotechnics started a fire at a club during a gig by Great White in West Warwick, Rhode Island. Great White singer Ty Longley was also killed in the accident. Two brothers who owned the club were charged, along with the former tour manager, with involuntary manslaughter. Foam soundproofing material at the edge of the stage set alight and the blaze spread quickly in the one-story wooden building as fans all tried to escape through the same exit.

Great White began a tour in July 2003 to raise money for the survivors and families of victims.
