Band members from rock band have agreed to pay $1 million in total to survivors and victims families who were in a fire sparked by their pyrotechnics during one of their shows.
The gig took place at The Station nightclub in February 2003 in West Warwick, Rhode Island, USA, after sparks from pyrotechnics used at the opening of the show ignited foam that was used for soundproofing around the stage.
Approximately 100 people died, including guitarist Ty Longley, and 200 people were injured in the tragedy which, according to Associated Press, was the fourth deadliest fire in American history.
The once Grammy Award-nominated did not admit any wrongdoing as part of the settlement payment.
Their offer makes a total of about $175 million offered by dozens of defendants to settle lawsuits after the blaze.
After the fire survivors and victims' families sued several dozen defendants such as foam companies, a rock radio station that ran adverts for the gig, the club's owners and the local fire marshal.
The band's tour manager, Daniel Biechele, who shot off the streams of pyrotechnics that started the blaze at the start of the show, pleaded guilty to 100 counts of involuntary manslaughter in 2006 and was recently paroled having served half of his four-year sentence.
