Has anyone heard about this story? The Hives are opening up for Pink and they dedicated their song "Tick, Tick, Boom" to the crowd. They didn't dedicate the song to the crowd because of the bombing, but because they thought that the crowd was so great. Well people are up in arms now.

The Hives have offered an apology to the people of Boston after dedicating a song in their set about "stuff blowing up" to the city.

In April of this year two bombs exploded during the Boston Marathon, resulting in three deaths and over 250 injuries. However, last night (December 5), during their opening set for Pink at the city's TD Garden, Hives frontman Pelle Almqvist dedicated the song 'Tick, Tick, Boom' to Boston, commenting: "This song's for everyone in Boston. It's about stuff blowing up. It's called 'Tick, Tick, Boom'."

Stereogum reports that Almqvist has now issued an apology on the band's Facebook page, saying the tragic coincidence was accidental. He wrote:

I love their music, and I think that they are one of the best bands out there. I probably wouldn't get offended by this, but thats just me.

Probably just an honest mistake on their part....but a stupid one.
