Killswitch Engage to Postpone South America Tour

09/29 @ 05:23PM

Killswitch Engage will unfortunately have to postpone their upcoming South America tour due to the illness of lead singer Howard Jones.  Howard is currently bed-ridden with a gall stone issue and has been told by his doctor that he should not leave his bed until further notice.  He is currently getting proper medical care and hopes to be on his feet and in less pain by the end of the week, at which time we will determine how soon we can reschedule these South America dates.  Killswitch would like to apologize to their fans in South America for this set back and want to assure them that the band has every intention to make up these dates in the near future. 

Killswitch would also like to thank Marcos Suarez from Liberation Music Company as well as all the other South America promoters who helped to put this tour together: El Cambio Music / Volumen 4 (Argentina), BTS Producciones / The Knife (Chile), Alarma Producciones (Ecuador), Inmigrant Music (Colombia).  We definitely appreciate all of your hard work and we will be sure to let Marcos know as soon as we have new dates to come to South America with his help.  Thanks, KsE

YO SABIA QUE ESOS HIJOS DE PUTA NO VENDRIAN, YO VI EN UNA ENTREVISTA QUE ELLOS NO LES INTERESA SURAMERICA PORQUE HACEN MAS PLATA EN EUROPA Y ESTADOS UNIDOS, HIJUEPUTAS MALPARIDOS. AHORA TODOS QUEDAMOS ESTAFADOS COMO UNOS MISMOS IMBECILES, NO LOS QUEREMOS EN NUESTRO TERRITORIO. PUDRANSE EN EL INFIERNO!

Well… what to say… most (music) people are affraid to going into south america. Malaria, sieges, robery, pretty easy going girls that LOVE strangers… Well… Thats why some people overreact this kind of news. Its already use to rock stars pretend sickness to avoyd those coutries. I REALY hope thats not the case. Thats if you man are realy with a medical condition and than get REALY better REALY soon.

Fire, burn, blood, passion and glory. No band that made a show there regreted it. In fact, they came back.

Yes. South America is explosive ready to blow. So we wait to have the Killsiwtch Engaged REALY soon. Best prays from here.
