Sleeping With Sirens are currently halfway through their intimate Gossip tour in support of their upcoming album Gossip, which will be released this Friday (22) via Warner Bros. The group were scheduled to perform a sold-out event last night (17) in Philadelphia at The Fillmore. Unfortunately, they were forced to postpone it after receiving a threatening note that was found at the venue. With the recent violence and threats that have happened at shows over the past few years, the band erred on the side of caution by postponing the event.
The group shared the following statement:
Kellin Quinn explained his thoughts as via Twitter:
As far as the hate towards me goes.. all I can say is I give my all to our fans and this band..
