Finland’s Children Of Bodom have officially departed from the “No Fear Energy Tour” with Lamb Of God, As I Lay Dying, Municipal Waste and God Forbid.
Frontman Alexi Laiho broke his shoulder last month when the tourbus took an irregularly sharp turn, causing the singer to fall from his bunk. Doctors today ordered Laiho to refrain from performing to avoid causing permanent damage, Bodom soundman Kal “K-Man” Kreacher posted on his Twitter account confirming the news: “Going home. Sorry. Doctor said [Alexi] should not play. It is better than fucking himself up for good. Three-week break; all should be good then.”
The dates that Children Of Bodom will have to miss are as follows:
Affected dates are as follows:
May 09 – Philadelphia, PA – The Electric Factory
May 11 – Baltimore, MD – Rams Head Live
May 12 – Boston, MA – House Of Blues
May 13 – Albany, NY – Washington St. Armory
May 14 – Richmond, VA – The National
May 15 – Myrtle Beach, SC – House Of Blues
The band performed a shortened three-song set last night (Friday 8th) in New York, having to say farewell only a fraction into their set due to Alexi’s shoulder giving in.
It’s a shame for the dates affected, hopefully Alexi will be good as new in a few weeks, wishing him a speedy recovery!|
