Vegas’ metal group Escape The Fate has some unfortunate news for their fans. Remember those European dates of theirs with Bullet For My Valentine? They’re not going on them…at least not right now. Bassist Max Green is going into rehab for drug and alcohol addiction.
According to a note on their Facebook page, singer Craig Mabbitt says, “Max is one of my best friends and has never done this band wrong in any way shape or form. It’s very honorable of him to admit he has a problem and wants to seek help for the longevity of his life and this band. I’m so sorry to the fans, but so proud of Max. He needs our love and support through this rough time in his life, so let’s give it to him. Our soldiers never let us down and we will be back to play Europe and the two London dates very soon. We love you guys.”
It sucks, but at least the band is there for the bassist. Escape The Fate will be headlining European dates early next year to make up for this.
Escape The Fate’s self-titled album just came out at the beginning of the month, on Interscope Records.
