Within Temptation Guitarist To Miss Tour Dates

Dutch gothic metallers WITHIN TEMPTATION have issued the following message from guitarist Robert Westerholt:

"Dear fans,

Unfortunately, I have to inform you that I will not be joining the rest of the band on the tour that starts tonight. During an unfortunate accident, I severely bruised my right thumb, making it impossible for me to play guitar.

Of course I'm very disappointed that I can't visit you all as I was really looking forward to it a lot!!

The band will be playing with the 5 of them, so they will not be joined by an extra guitar player. I'm confident that you will make up for the difference by screaming even louder than you usually do!

I will definitely be back for the (sold out!) Ahoy show in February, hope to see you all there!

All the best,

Robert Westerholt."
