Escape The Fate frontman Craig Mabbitt has issued a follow-up statement after the band cancelled their upcoming co-headline UK tour with Chiodos, as well as pulling their appearance at Warped Tour UK
Mabbitt’s girlfriend was overdue and he decided to stay at home and be with her during the birth of their son. Read about the latest developments below.
Dear fans of Escape The Fate:
As many of you know, we had to cancel our upcoming European Warped tour and European headlining dates with Chiodos. This was not a decision we took lightly nor wished to make. The fact is that Escape The Fate has had a number of challenges recently - with Monte and Michael, with those in whose trust we previously placed our business and with our families. But all of these challenges are currently being overcome so Escape The Fate can continue to be a band for many years to come - and to be the best band we can be so this never happens again.
It is true that there were many factors that contributed to our inability to do the tour but after it became clear that my girlfriend was facing continued complications with the birth of our son, I had to make the decision to be with her. I'm still at the hospital as I write this, and am happy to report we now have a healthy baby boy!
Nothing is more important to us than our fans and we intend to make it up to all of you. 2013 has been a difficult year for us, but we are confident that we are now poised to make 2014 the best year we've ever had. Your support is so appreciated and means more than you can ever know.
Craig
The song One For The Money, from Escape The Fate's 2013 record 'Ungrateful', is still scheduled for release and will land on November 11.
