Will Haven Cancels European Tour
Will Haven has been forced to cancel their upcoming European run and will instead focus on writing and recording the follow up to "The Hierophant" a statement from the band regarding the decision reads as follows:
"This has not been an easy decision... We're very sorry to announce that, due to not having a bass player, lack of funding, an injured guitarist, and our overall financial instability, Will Haven has been forced to cancel our upcoming April / May European tour.
"We know how crazy lucky we are to have the opportunity to play overseas. Our touring lineup is currently in shambles with Mike, Rey (who usually fills in for Mike), and Pag all unable to go. Plus, we would be looking at serious financial losses and setbacks if we try to go out now.
"'The Hierophant' has been out for almost 2 years now, and we haven't finished any new material. Our goal here is to regroup, finish writing the new songs, and save up enough money to do this RIGHT. We owe that to our friends and fans.
"Again sorry to our friends, fans, the clubs, promoters, and to Jerkov Booking who faithfully put so much effort into this. We will make this up to you very soon!"
