Ironically that unexpected ignition took place during the alternative metal group\u2019s performance of the song \u201cCalm Down\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>A stagehand was quick to address the errant pyro mishap, extinguishing the resulting flames without the band missing a beat. However, some have expressed concern over the allegedly unconventional methods used to put out the fire. Fan-filmed footage of the mishap can be seen below.<\/p>\n<p>Evanescence are early into the their world tour in support of their newly released album \u201cSanctuary\u201d and they currently have the following dates booked for it:<\/p>\n<p>With Spiritbox &amp;
