Great White tour manager up for parole in September

PROVIDENCE -- The former rock band tour manager whose pyrotechnics ignited a nightclub fire that killed 100 people comes up for parole in two months.

Daniel Biechele is scheduled for a parole hearing on Sept. 19th, according to Lisa Holley, chairwoman of the parole board.

Biechele, the former tour manager for the rock band Great White, is serving a four-year prison sentence for his role in the 2003 Station nightclub fire. He pleaded guilty last year to igniting pyrotechnics without the required permit.

The parole board considers factors such as inmate's remorse, risk of reoffending and plans for life after prison.
