No doubt as many know Every Time I Die were scheduled to perform their season shows just a couple of weeks ago however due to the ever changing climate that we are currently in had to cancel. Now somethig far more important requires the singers attention.
Due to head down in Toronto for the singer’s book signing he received a call that his wife and then unborn child needed urgent medical attention. With Buckley’s daughter being seven months old the situation was dangerous not only for his new born but his spouse as well. Thankfully now the situation has calmed slightly but the two are still in need of recovery.
Deciding that with his blessing the Every Time I Die boys would be continuing on with the tour without the singer the band are still on the road. Enlisting the help of close friends to sing his parts the singer apologises.
Here is the singers statement :
“Last night as I was preparing for my book release party at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto, I received an urgent call that my wife Lindsay – who was at the time only 7 months pregnant – had developed a rare and life threatening complication which required immediate removal of our child in order to save both her life and Lindsay’s. Andy Williams and our tech Kevin White raced me to the hospital in Buffalo where I saw sights that no man, father or husband should ever have to see. It is here that I now wait as their conditions stabilize. ETID has allowed me all the time I need in order to handle this extremely delicate situation but they will – with my blessing – continue the tour without me, enlisting the help of very close friends to handle vocal duties. I apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment this may cause and will do all I can to make it up to you. For the moment, however, all of my being is focused on the recovery of my lionhearted wife and my frail but beautiful new daughter. thank you for your understanding. give my bandmates my love when you see them.”
We hope that everything in the new Buckley family is all ok!
