On the band’s social media pages, Josh posted a statement outlining his condition and their choice to cancel future shows.
Fans will Have the Option of a Refund
The statement continued, “It is with our hearts that we must reschedule our gigs this coming week in Raleigh, Greenville, and Jacksonville.
I perforated my eardrum during our most recent performance in Bangor, and I recently learned that it will take longer than expected to properly heal. In order to get the rest, I need to finish the year strong, I’m working closely with my team to make sure I do. We are attempting to reschedule these performances, and we’ll make the new dates known as soon as we can, he continued.
Josh also said that concertgoers who wish to attend the shows on the new dates should hold onto their tickets. Once the new dates are revealed, others will receive a refund. Hold onto your ticket and it will still be good if you still want to see the show on the new date. As soon as the new dates are revealed, you will be able to request a refund at the place of purchase, Josh wrote.
