Trivium frontman Matt Heafy has been forced to sit out for the remainder of the tour with Light the Torch and Avatar. The trek currently has over a week worth of shows left as it’s scheduled to conclude on November 3rd. However, Heafy and his wife are expecting twins at any moment and he had no choice but to fly back home. The band has recruited Light The Torch’s Howard Jones, Avatar’s Johannes Eckerström, and YouTube star Jared Dines to provide guest vocals during Heafy’s absence.
You can watch Heafy’s video statement below:
