Band shared the news via social media
British rockers Asking Alexandria have been forced to scrap the remainder of their current European tour after drummer James Cassells sustained a broken foot. The band shared the news via their socials, one day after canceling an Estonia tour stop for the same reason.
“After seeing another specialist here in Estonia it has been advised that James rests his broken foot. Playing drums is just not an option for him at this current time,” the band writes. “With that being said we have been given no choice but to cancel the rest of this European tour. Our main concern now is getting James back on his feet and playing drums again without causing any long term damage in the process. Again, we want to thank all of you for your love, support and understanding during this trying time. Delivering this kind of news is never easy so it really does mean the world us.”
European dates were scheduled through July 7th. It’s unclear if the group’s appearances at major US festivals Rock Fest, Inkcarceration Festival and Louder Than Life and others will be affected for this summer.
Earlier this month, group announced a co-headlining fall tour with labelmates The Hu. The Psycho Thunder Tour will kick off this fall and also includes Bad Wolves and opening act Zero 9:36. The co-headlining tour commences August 30th in San Antonio, TX and wraps October 8th in Los Angeles. Asking Alexandria is also scheduled to appear on additional festival dates including Rocklahoma and Blue Ridge Rock Festival.
The band is on tour ahead of its anticipated eighth full-length studio album Where Do We Go From Here? due this fall via Better Noise Music. The album’s debut track “Dark Void” was released in May and saw the band return to their metalcore beginnings has already amassed five million streams and one million video views to date.
