If you're going to head to the second leg of Slayer's final North American tour, which kicks off tonight – you might notice somebody missing during Lamb of God's set. Due to some "unforeseen circumstances," Adler has to sit out the tour.
The band have posted the following statement:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we regret to inform you that Chris Adler will not be performing on our upcoming North American tour with Slayer. In his absence, we would like to welcome Art Cruz, who will be filling in at the recommendation of Chris. We expect to see Chris returning in the very near future. We will see you all on the road soon.”
It's a big bummer and I'm sure Adler would absolutely love to be there opening for Slayer on their last go-around, so I'm sure this was something that Adler absolutely had to attend to. Here are the dates Adler is missing:
July 26 Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion, Gilford, NH
July 27 Impact Music Festival, Darling's Waterfront Pavilion, Bangor, ME
July 29 Northwell Health at Jones Beach, Wantagh, NY
July 31 The Pavilion at Montage Mountain, Scranton, PA
August 1 Times Union Center, Albany, NY
August 3 Darien Lake Performing Arts Center, Darien Lake, NY
August 4 Lakeview Amphitheater, Syracuse, NY
August 6 Budweiser Gardens, London, ON
August 7 Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, MI
August 9 Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, St. Louis, MO
August 10 Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood, Atlanta, GA
August 12 Municipal Auditorium, Nashville, TN
August 13 Walmart AMP, Rogers, AR
August 15 Freeman Coliseum, San Antonio, TX
August 16 The Zoo Amphitheatre, Oklahoma City, OK
August 18 Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre, Denver, CO
August 19 USANA Amphitheatre, Salt Lake City, UT
August 21 Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater, Boise, ID
August 23 Sunlight Supply Amphitheater, Portland, OR
August 26 SAP Center, San Jose, CA
Surely, Adler will be back in the fold in time for Lamb of God opening for Slayer on their European tour dates.
