April 24, 2022, 2 years ago
Currently on the road with Megadeth for The Metal Tour Of The Year, Lamb Of God bassist John Campbell is due to miss the next few shows in order to "take care of a family matter back home." Vio-lence guitarist Phil Demmel will fill in for Campbell while he is away. Demmel's first show - on bass - with the band was on April 22nd in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Demmel previously filled in for Willie Adler in January 2022 when Lamb Of God played the ShipRocked Cruise.
On April 19th, Lamb Of God released a statement on their social media channels that singer Randy Blythe has tested positive for COVID-19 and would miss the band’s concert in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Chimaira’s Mark Hunter took his place at the show, but was not able to perform on April 21st in Fort Wayne, Indiana due to illness, forcing Lamb Of God to cancel their appearance.
