Animals As Leaders have announced the cancellation of their upcoming shows in Mexico, South America, and Australia due to an arm injury sustained by drummer Matt Garstka. The band shared that the injury will require surgery, forcing them to step away from the road for the time being. While the exact nature of the injury hasn’t been disclosed, the band issued the below statement on Wednesday (30th), expressing their regret and promising updates soon:
“To our fans in Mexico, South America, and Australia, We have some unfortunate news. We’re going to have to cancel our upcoming tour dates. Matt sustained a serious arm injury that requires surgery, and there’s no way we can perform without him. Rather than leave things up in the air, we’re calling it now and putting our full focus into writing the next Animals As Leaders album. New material is already in the works, and we’ll have more to share soon. We know this news sucks – especially for those of you who’ve been waiting a long time to see us live. Canceling isn’t something we take lightly. Thank you for sticking with us. We’ll make it back to your cities with new music and a set that hits even harder.
Respect,
Animals As Leaders“
