CROWBAR guitarist Kirk Windstein - who plays in both DOWN and KINGDOM OF SORROW - has issued the following update:

"Hey everyone Kirk here, just wanted to issue an update on the status of the Down and Kingdom Of Sorrow touring. Obviously my commitment is to Down and I cannot wait for these Australian and Japanese dates as well as the METALLICA shows in the US, I am beyond honored and excited! Since Kingdom Of Sorrow has been confirmed on the GWAR tour for a while I am insisting that they find a fill in for me and do the tour but I will try and make as many shows as humanly possible. It looks likely that I will be able to finish the last few weeks of the tour with them. Thanks, keep it heavy, K.W."
