An Arcade Fire bobblehead prop was stolen from the band’s Bridgeport, CT show.
They’re a big—no pun intended—part of Arcade Fire’s Reflektor tour, large bobblehead masks that resemble the members of the band.
Now, according to the group, one of the giant papier-mâché heads—the one belonging to Richard Reed Parry—has been missing since their most recent show in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
In a statement released to Brooklyn Vegan, the band asked the person who took off with bobblehead to come forward:
“Richy’s bobblehead mask was taken from our show in Bridgeport, CT. This mask is a one of a kind piece that is an essential component to our live show. We have photos of the theft but rather than press charges we would prefer if the person who took it would get in touch with us to return it. Perhaps this is all an innocent mistake and you meant to leave the venue with your own oversized paper mache rendition of Richard Parry’s head? Please contact: info@quest-management.com with any information.”
Arcade Fire has just a few days to find the mask before their next performance, March 28th at Mexico City’s Vive Latino festival.
