The lead guitarist and founder of American heavy metal band Iced Earth has been pictured among the Donald Trump supporters who violently stormed the US Capitol yesterday (January 6) in Washington D.C..

Jon Schaffer was captured with a group of protesters who stormed the building as Congress prepared to begin the process of certifying Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the winners of the 2020 US presidential election.

After breaching security, protesters were seen making their way into Congress’ central chamber – while one even tore down a wooden plaque above the entrance to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office.

In a striking image captured by AFP’s Roberto Schmidt, Schaffer is pictured among the throng of supporters who breached the building and appears to be wildly gesticulating in the middle of the chaotic scenes.
Schaffer founded Iced Earth in 1984 and has remained the group’s only constant member throughout, releasing 12 albums with the metal band.


@MetalHammer It's our boy, Jon Schaffer from Iced Earth on a holiday to DC.

 
This is really disappointing to hear. I loved Iced Earth and Demons & Wizards, they make great music, but this kind of garbage is not something to get yourself wrapped up in or to goto jail over. Just stick to playing music, Jon, it's what you're best at.
