SABATON Bassist Forced To Sit Out Shows

Swedish metallers SABATON have released the following statement:

“The last shows in Canada [were] the first shows in 12 years that Pär [Sundström, bass] had to sit over a show due to a knee injury caught during the band’s current North American tour.

“Pär has after two days in hospital made the decision to return home and is now recovering.

“We have faith that Pär will be playing bass again on the closing shows of the world war tour and until then we will have a replacement bass player.”

Added Pär: “It hurts to leave from the middle of a tour and I never thought I see the day when I had to pass on a show.

“I hope to see you all in the future and cannot wait to return to the stage that I love so much and especially North America to finish what we started.

“The show must go on.” Source: Blabbermouth.net
