Anti-Flag cancel tour dates
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 9 March 2009
Anti-Flag have been forced to cancel all of their upcoming European tour dates because frontman Justin Sane broke his collarbone during the course of a gig in Norwich on Wednesday when a stage dive went wrong.
A message on the band’s website read: “Tonight in Norwich Justin broke his collar bone. There was a scuffle in the crowd, he dove head first in, landed awkwardly and that was that. We hate to cancel the remaining shows with Rise Against and our own headlining shows in Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Russia”.
“But after [guitarist] Chris Head having to fly home from Glasgow due to a death in the family, Pat’s [Thetic, drums] three broken ribs that he started the tour with and now this it’s obvious the UK is trying to kill us. Fuck it, we’ll reschedule it all, you may have won the battle, but we WILL WIN the war. Cordially yours. Anti-Flag”.
