Like Animals Bassist To Miss Tour After Vehicle Crash

Orillia, ON's deviant melodic math metallers Like Animals will continue an Eastern Canadian tour of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario after bassist Myke Caouette's suffered injuries from a high speed collision.

The crash caused his vehicle to burst into flames, forcing him to pull himself out of the wreck and out of harms way. Caouette's injuries aren't life threatening, but will need time to heal as he endured a fractured ankle, shattered kneecap, broken femur and sprained ribs. He comments:

"I'm happy to be alive, but sad not be on the road with my brothers in LA. I want to thank everyone for their well wishes and I'm glad to be out of hospital. Please support the band along with our touring mates (U) The Band. I will be back on the road for our Western Canadian tour in October."

Caouette's will be replaced by bassist Rufus Cavan of (U) The Band who will be performing double duty for both bands on the Eastern Canadian tour.
