KILLSWITCH ENGAGE Issue Message Regarding Postponed Tour Dates; Peter Wichers, Ex-SOILWORK Steps In
January 15, 2007, 17 years ago
On Satuday, January 13th, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE announced that they had "been forced to cancel the next three shows (London - January 13, Bristol - January 14 and Paris - January 16) because guitarist Adam D. hurt his back really bad."
At that time the London show had been rescheduled for January 29th.
The band has since issued the following:
"Ok, here's the deal. Adam and Howard were sick and wanted to do the Brixton show. Once they got to the club, both got to see the local physician. After both seeing the doc the prognosis was Howard had a chest infection, Adam however, was doing much much worse. No way he could do the show, and he was immediately ushered to a nearby hospital.After a series of tests, it was decided that Adam would need back surgery again, no more shows, no flying home first, no exceptions. We are pleased to report that he has just left surgery, is doing fine and resting comfortably. Adam and the band appreciate all the messages and concern that everyone has shown.
Concerning the rest of the tour, it will continue with Peter Wichers (ex-SOILWORK) filling in for Adam on guitar. Adam will be missed, but he wants the tour to go on more than the rest of the band so we will try to miss as few shows as possible, and make up as many as we can.
See you shortly and thanks again."
