Rock frontman halts concert to promote Fallout 4 mod

Breaking Benjamin frontman Benjamin Burnley paused a September 6, 2026, concert in Holmdel, New Jersey, to address a dispute within the Fallout 4 modding community and promote his own mod. The interruption, which lasted several minutes, occurred during a period of downtime caused by a drum malfunction. Burnley used the unexpected break to speak to the audience about his "True First Person" mod for the 2015 game. He explained that he had created the mod to allow players to see their full character body in first-person view and maintain that perspective during in-game interactions, unlike the game's default settings. He urged concertgoers, even those who do not play Fallout 4, to download the mod from Nexus Mods, stating his intention to increase its popularity. The primary reason for the public appeal, Burnley said, was a dispute with another unnamed modder. He alleged that this individual had been critical and "mean" about his work, calling the mod "shit" and questioning his abilities. Burnley expressed his desire to "destroy" the other modder by surpassing their download numbers, stating he would continue this practice at shows until he reached one million downloads.
