German thrash metal legends Destruction have issued a statement regarding the accusation that they pulled out of a tribute show for original Sodom drummer Chris Witchhunter.

The statement reads as follows: "To cut down rumours about the cancellation of the Chris Witchhunter Tribute Show, we need to speak out the truth about the non-professional behaviour of the so-called "promoter."

"Destruction agreed to play for free, without any of the normal demands on this charity event, the only demand was a professional poster. After that the wanna-be-promoter took the band off the bill. No communication with the band or the agency, nothing!

"This decision was beyond the band's control and will only hurt the fans and Chris' relatives.

"As a matter of respect for our dead friend, we will not fight this senseless decision in public. The event is a good thing for Chris and his family. Chris would turn over in his own grave, after such a stupid act. Destruction apologizes for this brainless decision of this wanna-be-promoter. Support Chris and his relatives!"

I'm relieved that it wasn't the bands fault, especially after I just read the other article about this. Most agreed with post 1 all the way.
