We are sad to announce today that Gerit Lamm, our dear friend and drummer, will not be joining us on tour this summer due to health reasons. We wish him all the best with his recovery and hope he will be back on his feet soon to re-join us!
Please read his personal statement below:
Dear fans and friends,As you might know I have been suffering from serious back pain for a while now (we even had to cancel one festival appearance last year because of that). I tried everything possible to bolster up this body part, but things didn´t get better, they turned much worse most recently, so I had to undergo spine surgery last week.The good thing: Everything went well and I am already back home again working on my recovery.Luckily, I finished recording drums for the new album just little before and I must say I am very proud of this little piece of music we wrote. So I was literally bending my spine so that the album will be fine ;)But here comes the downside to it: I will miss out the next shows with Xandria in July. Yet, we have found an awesome stand in drummer replacing me on all the shows. His name is Hendrik Thiesbrummel (Die Krupps / Kingdom Come) and he is a good friend of mine. So please give him a warm welcome and celebrate the shows with us. __I will be back after the recovery with more energy than ever._ Take care everybody and thank you for your support!!_Gerit.
