DARKEST HOUR müssen die restlichen
Gigs ihrer Tour leider canceln, da der an Krebs
erkrankte Vater des Gitarristen nicht mehr lange
leben wird. Hier das offizielle Statement: „Darkest
Hour is sad to announce that we have to cancel
the rest of our European tour, plus the two weeks
with The Crown in November. Mike's father has
been battling cancer for about two years, and
Mike has been called home by his family to spend
his last days with him. We were looking forward
to seeing our friends in Sweden, the UK, and especially
Anchorfest. We regret to cancel, but we are planning
on coming back for a full European tour in February/March
2004, and we plan to make up all of the dates
we will miss. We would like to thanks Marco and
Ivonne at Join The Team Player Rec./Avocado Booking
for all of their love and support, as our booking
agents and friends. We would also like to thank
Martin, our driver, for all of his patience. We
send our apologizes to all of the bands, fans,
and promoters of this tour, and thank you for
your understanding and respect during this difficult
time.“
