After the tragic news last week that guitarist Justin Lowe was found dead, many were speculating if After The Burial would fulfill their commitment to be on the Summer Slaughter tour.
The tour begins tomorrow and it looks like it will be happening without After The Burial. The band just released this official statement:
In the wake of our loss, it comes with heavy hearts to inform everyone that we have decided not to perform on this year's Summer Slaughter tour. The recent events have been unimaginably heartbreaking, and Justin's passing is something that each of us needs time with our families and friends to recover from.
Justin Lowe’s story may have a sad ending, but the legacy he leaves us is one that should do nothing but inspire.
From the bottom of our hearts, we'd like to thank everyone who has reached out in support and with kind words for him, his family, and us. It has been truly amazing to see all the people whose live's he impacted in a positive way.
