Tate - who will now perform under the name Operation: Mindcrime after settling a long-running dispute with his former Queensryche bandmates - played his final show using the name in Illinois, USA.

And just before the last song of the set, Tate told the crowd: "Hey guess what, this is our last show as Qeeensryche tonight. We can no longer use the name or the TriRyche symbol, so I'm going to cut this from my belt right now." Tate then held up the symbol and said "goodbye."
