3 INCHES OF BLOOD have posted the following statement about vocalist Jamie Hooper:
“As we start the Ozzfest tour, we are unfortunately one member short. Jamie Hooper has been experiencing problems with his voice and thus his ability to sing. Under the recommendation of doctors, Jamie has been advised not to perform until his voice has healed. As a result, Jamie will not be appearing with us on Ozzfest. Justin Hagberg will be pulling double duty, playing guitar and singing most of Jamie’s parts. We hope Jamie’s recovery is as painless as possible and is back in the fold by the fall.”
There are some rumors floating around recently that BROKEN HOPE may re-unite.
