Schlecht Nachrichten für alle Fans von COHEED AND CAMBRIA. Aufgrund einer Handverletzung von Sänger, Gitarrist und Chefdenker Claudio Sanchez fallen mehrere Dates der Europatour mit THRICE aus. Laut Band werden die Nachholtermine demnächst bekannt gewesen.
Das offizielle Statement der Band:
The holidays lead to family fun, and in this case, too much fun.
In his first night home from a long year of touring, lead guitarist and vocalist Claudio Sanchez of the New York rock band, Coheed and Cambria suffered a broken hand while sparring with his brother, Matthew. Matthew Sanchez is a boxer, and was clearly the winner of this one. The injury, fittingly nicknamed a boxer´s fracture, involves the ring finger and small finger of the right hand. The injury requires 3 weeks in a cast and a week or two of physical therapy.
Brother Matthew has inspired two characters in the Coheed and Cambria concept records; “Matthew” is a son of Coheed and Cambria in the story, and “Inferno” is the brother of Coheed, who is a Prize Fighter and modeled loosely after the younger Sanchez.
The band will be forced to postpone a portion of their upcoming tour dates in Europe with Thrice. Tickets should be held on to until new dates are announced in the coming week. They can then be refunded or exchanged for the new date. The make up shows will not be with Thrice, however, all shows in the UK will not be affected and will go on as planned.
The following dates have been postponed:
11.01. Antwerp, Belgium – Hof Der Lo
12.01. Amsterdam, NE – Melkweg
13.01. Hamburg, DE – Grosse Freiheit
14.01. Koln, DE – LMH
16.01. Oslo, NO – Rockerfeller
17.01. Stockholm, SW – Debaser

Claudio sends his deepest apologies, as does the rest of the band, and promise to make these dates up in February in big style.
