But during it all, they kept a positive attitude and thanked their Madrid fans, looked at the brightside, that is was after a final show and even joked:

Is “burgled” really a word? Were we just burgled? …making me hungry. Going to collect the band and sit down for food. Stop the stress.

PTM fans around the world please help if you can, if you have any information please contact the father direct. Devon Hollahan came to our show in Frankfurt on Saturday.
