METAL CHURCH - Forced To Cancel Upcoming Shows
August 3, 2008, 15 years ago
Legendary Seattle metallers METAL CHURCH have issued the following update:
"As most of you know from the announcement last week we were forced to cancel several of the shows. We did not have the information we needed from the powers that be until the last minute. Our bags were packed and flights taken when we finally got the info needed. It was at this time we ran into discrepancies. This tour was already costing us each personally but we were still going to do it because we wanted to be on the road, see the fans as well as play with JUDAS PRIEST. We understand 'roughing it', this is Metal Church, but it became irresponsible for us to just hit the road with so many loose ends and conflicting information during these uncertain economic times.We were forced to cancel and we are pissed and disappointed. We know many fans were looking forward to these shows as much as we were. We want you all to know that we tried everything possible to make this work. This was an agonizing decision and we know that there will be people that will be upset with Metal Church but know that we were put in a position that left us no other choice.
We will still do the Florida show at Bourbon Street as well as the Puerto Rico show with QUEENSRŸCHE. Thank you for your understanding."
The band's updated itinerary is as follows:
August
14 - New Port Richey, FL - Bourbon Street16 - San Juan, PR - Roberto Clemente Coliseum (with QUEENSRŸCHE)
October
4 - Castro Calley, CA - Castro Valley Center For The Arts
