Escape The Fate Cancels Tour, Bassist Enters Rehab

Las Vegas, Nevada’s Escape The Fate have dropped of their upcoming European tour with Bullet For My Valentine that was scheduled to begin this weekend in Helsinki, Finland. Bassist Max Green has entered an undisclosed rehab for drug and alcohol addiction. Lead vocalist Craig Mabbit commented on the situation:

“Max needs his friends and family by his side, so we’re not gonna leave him. Max is one of my best friends and has never done this band wrong in any way shape or form. It’s very honorable of him to admit he has a problem and wants to seek help for the longevity of his life and this band. I’m so sorry to the fans, but so proud of Max. He needs our love and support through this rough time in his life, so let’s give it to him. Our soldiers never let us down and we will be back to play Europe and the two London dates very soon. We love you guys.”

To make up for the cancellations, Escape The Fate will headline a string of European dates in early 2011. Tickets for the two London headline shows that were scheduled for December 6th and 7th at the Islington Academy will be honored when these shows are rescheduled early next year.
