Ibiza Rocks, a popular hotel and music venue in San Antonio, has decided to cancel its upcoming events following the tragic deaths of two British men at the premises. David Kelly, a 19-year-old ice hockey player from Scotland, tragically lost his life in a fall on Monday, while 26-year-old Evan Thomson died earlier this month under undisclosed circumstances. The management expressed their sorrow, stating they are "deeply shocked and devastated" by the events and prioritizing the well-being of their guests.
The Spanish civil guard indicated that Mr. Kelly's death appeared to be accidental after he fell from a balcony in the early hours. The venue is currently cooperating with local authorities concerning this incident. A spokesperson for the UK Foreign Office mentioned they are providing support to the bereaved families and maintaining contact with local officials.
Mr. Kelly was a promising talent for the Scottish ice hockey team Dundee Stars, whose management shared heartfelt tributes highlighting his potential and charisma. Similarly, Mr. Thomson's mother took to social media to express her profound grief following her son's tragic accident while on holiday in Ibiza with friends.
The Ibiza Rocks event schedule indicated an R&B music dance party planned for Sunday, among other high-profile performances to celebrate its 20th anniversary, including appearances from notable artists. The venue is known for its vibrant pool parties and music sets, aiming to uplift spirits throughout the summer season. However, the recent tragedies have cast a shadow over its ongoing celebrations, leading to a cautious approach regarding future events, with a promise to communicate updates to affected customers.
