KILLSWITCH ENGAGE: Tucson Show Cancelled

March 3, 2010

Massachusetts metallers KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have released the following statement:

"KILLSWITCH ENGAGE will have no choice but to cancel their upcoming performance in Tucson, Arizona on Thursday, March 4, 2010. Fill-in vocalist Phil Labonte of ALL THAT REMAINS will absolutely need this day to rest and recover his voice from what has been a very grueling three-week touring schedule in which he has been asked to perform a wealth of new material. With another three weeks of touring still to go, the band realizes that it's crucial for Phil to get this much-needed day off so that he can be at full capacity the rest of the way.

"Labonte is pinch-hitting, so to speak, for KILLSWITCH ENGAGE's Howard Jones, who had to leave the tour to attend to personal matters.

"The band wants to thank their fans in Tucson for their understanding in this matter and wants to assure them that they will make every effort to get back into Tucson as soon as possible."

Fan-filmed video footage of KILLSWITCH ENGAGE performing the song "Fixation on the Darkness" on March 1, 2010 at the Sunshine Theater in Albuquerque, New Mexico can be viewed below.
