Heaven Shall Burn joutui keskeyttämään festarikeikkansa terveysongelman vuoksi
Saksalainen metalcore-yhtye Heaven Shall Burn joutui lauantaina 7.6. keskeyttämään keikkansa Rock am Ringissa jo ensimmäisen kappaleen jälkeen. Syyksi kerrottiin vokalisti Marcus Bischoffia kohdannut äkillinen terveysongelma.
Aluksi yhtye tiedotti, etteivät he ole varmoja mitä oli tapahtunut, sillä harjoitusten aikana kaikki oli sujunut hyvin, mutta Bischoffin kerrottiin saaneen jonkinlaisen nieluvamman ja häntä kuljetettiin sairaalaan. Myöhemmin Bischoff päivitti tilannetta kertoen, että oli saanut huomaamatta jääneen infektion, jonka vuoksi yhtye joutuu perumaan tulevia keikkojaan.
Yhtye tiedotti lauantaina tuoreeltaan:
“Hey there people. We still have no idea what just happened and we really want to tell you honestly what we know so far and what the current situation looks like. We had to cancel our performance at Rock am Ring after only one song because our singer Marcus sustained a throat injury. He’s on his way to the hospital in these minutes to have things cleared up. It tears us apart and above all it really his heart to leave you there after the big rain and the clearing evening sky. It was all set for a mega explosion of energy.
Everything went optimally, Marcus did not have the slightest problems during the warm-up. We have never experienced anything like this and are devastated. But we are also absolutely blown away by your support, your understanding and your solidarity, which immediately catch and surround us in this situation. To the people in front of the stage of whom no one has even moaned at all, who instead encourage us with speeches, we would prefer to fall on the necks of each and every one individually. We cry with sadness, but also with now bitterly experienced happiness to have such fans and supporters We will contact you as soon as there is something new. Your HSB boys.”
Bischoff päivitti tilannetta sunnuntaina 8.6.:
“Hello my friends. As promised, I want to give an update on the situation. I was in the hospital last night and had a specialist examine me. Apparently, I’ve picked up an unnoticed infection. Unfortunately, this means we have to cancel our show today at the Metalfest in Pilsen and also the upcoming show with In Flames in Ljubljana next Tuesday. This honestly hurts our hearts, and we will definitely be back as soon as possible! Yet, giving up is not an option! I hope I will be back with positive news very soon! Yours, Molle and the HSB guys!”
Maanantaina 9.6. Bischoff kiitteli faneja saamastaan tuesta:
“Hey guys,
After the first shock is gone, I just want to say thank you for all your kind words and support. I’m really touched, and it gives me a lot of strength. This feeling of community and help from all of you makes me proud and happy, especially in a time like this. Thank you so much!!!
We will see and hear each other soon again… More updates will come on our official channels.
Yours, Marcus“
