Coheed & Cambria's Bassist Arrested For Armed Robbery

Coheed and Cambria‘s bassist, Michael Todd, has been arrested on charges of armed robbery and unlawful possession of prescription narcotics. He was arrested Sunday after police responded to a report of a robbery around 1 p.m. at a Walgreens and is currently being held on parole for $25,000.

The band announced on their website that Todd will not be returning for the remainder of their tour:

Michael Todd was arrested today on what we consider very serious charges and therefore he will not be finishing up the current tour. Wes Styles, long time member of the Coheed family will take on bass duties starting tomorrow for the remaining dates. No shows will be canceled.

We are surprised to say the least and will address the situation with Michael after the tour. For now, we just want to have a great time out here and finish with some killer shows in Boston, Poughkeepsie, Quebec City and Halifax.

Coheed and Cambria has released five studio albums, including its most recent, Year of the Black Rainbow, in 2010.
