I don’t quite know a) how they released this so quickly after the news their guitarist had committed suicide and b) how they are managing to tour so soon after the event as well. That must’ve been one hell of a turn of events, fair play to them for carrying on ASAP.
Aye. For those not in the know, Shields guitarist George Christie sadly took his on life on 31st January. While no official announcement has been made on a replacement, from the photos in the press around the bands return show at London’s Koko in support of Escape The Fate, the band are continuing as a four piece with Sam Kubrick handling all the guitar duties.
