More cancellations sadly amidst security fears in Europe, as Papa Roach and Devil You Know have pulled the plug on their upcoming Wembley show with Five Finger Death Punch.

With all these cancellations we do wonder if there is something we don’t know threatening these bands. The two titans due to play at Wembley released a statement in the wake of the cancellations.

“We pride ourselves for rarely canceling shows, but our crew is an essential part of our organization and because they, unfortunately, could not continue the tour due to their logistical challenges and uncertainties, we could not either. We respect them and have had to accept their difficult choice to return home. We shall return next year. We will announce more details on rescheduling as soon as we are able to. ”

Five Finger Death Punch have vowed to continue despite having to cancel their Milan show, and lined up some new support for the Wembley show. Skindred, As Lions and The One Hundred are set to replace. Read FFDP’s statement below:

“Despite some significant challenges in Europe since the horrible events in Paris recently, we have continued on our tour and remained dedicated to our mission of providing you, the fans, the highest quality show in the safest possible show environment. As a result of new and increased travel/transportation restrictions and challenges, in some cities we are scheduled to play, we are unable to fulfill this promise, so we were forced to postpone those shows. We continue to face additional challenges but remain committed to finishing out the tour as best as we can.

“We are not a band that is used to postponing or canceling shows. In fact, we have always prided ourselves on showing up onstage no matter what, so these extenuating circumstances have been particularly challenging for us, as artists, given the high standard we place on ourselves to deliver for the fans.”

If there’s any judgment here it should probably be left aside, given that bands very very rarely actually want to cancel shows. No doubt the bands not playing will be back in full force.
