”I basically screwed up my back 10 days ago while working out. I felt a shooting pain and stopped immediately. That same night, my back started swelling. Next day, I felt better and in the coming days it healed up pretty fast.

”So here I am, strapped to a couch feeling sorry for all the fans who had plans to finally see us at Rockharz.

”I’m so sorry, I wish there was a way… [I] hope you understand.

”Make sure you enjoy the rest of the awesome bands that are playing the festival; it looks like a real good lineup! Our guitarist Sylvain will be there regardless, so hopefully you’ll run into him and he’ll buy you a bunch of drinks.”
