De Amerikaanse hardcore-punk band Sick Of It All gaat voor het eerst in hun geschiedenis op tour zonder gitarist Pete Koller. Dit heeft de band bekendgemaakt via hun socials. De tour startte op 27 juli en komt onder andere naar Brackrock Ecofest in Duffel (BE) en Alcatraz Open Air in Kortrijk (BE), en omdat de band de tour niet wilde annuleren werd er op korte termijn een vervanger gevonden in Craig Silverman die momenteel bij Agnostic Front speelt. Het officiële statement van de band luidt:
We have some unfortunate news. Pete can not make the up coming tour which starts next week. He was trying to see if he could get his surgery for a hernia after the tour but the doctors said it would worsen his condition. So with a heavy heart he has to cancel but he didn’t want us to disappoint all the people that were counting and relying on us to suffer especially the fans. So he suggested we go on the tour with the help from Craig Silverman. From Agnostic Front. This was not an easy decision. This is the first time we will ever be playing with out Pete. But he didn’t want us to let down all our fans who have brought tickets already. Thanks to Craig Silverman for stepping up and helping us out. Ans please let’s all wish Pete a speedy recovery. We hope you all come out and get loud with us!!
