Slipknotin Clown jätti kiertueen kesken perhetragedian vuoksi

Yhdysvaltalaisen metalliyhtye Slipknotin perustajana ja perkussionistina tunnettu Shawn ”Clown” Crahan on lähtenyt kotiin kesken yhtyeen Australian kiertueen. Paikan päällä kuvatussa videossa Corey Taylor selvittää yleisölle syyn johtuneen yllättävästä perhetragediasta:

“First things first, as you can see we are missing one of our brothers.Unfortunately Clown was forced to go home for a family emergency. He couldn’t get out of it but he sends his fucking love to each and [every one of you]. He wanted to be here more than anything but he told us all to make sure you motherfuckers knew.”

Myös Crahan itse on avautunut asiasta omalla Instagram-tilillään:

Today we lost the leader of our family. My Father In Law my other dad. I’m am so very lucky to have known him. He is one of my favorite people in this world and I learned so much from him. I love you Mr. Noyes. Life will never be the same without you.

This man supported my decision to chase music as a career three years before I started the band with Paul. Asking him to marry his daughter was one of the highlights of my life. He loved Slipknot and had seen us all over the world. Catering was one of his favorite things when coming to a show.
