As I Lay Dying drummer Jordan Mancino will be sitting out the bands tour of South America due to a death in the family. A message from the band reads as follows:

"Due to a death in the family, drummer Jordan Mancino will not be able to perform at the remaining four shows of As I Lay Dying's current South American tour.

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jordan and his family.

"Justin Foley (drummer of KILLSWITCH ENGAGE) will be filling in for Jordan on the remainder of this tour. We'd like to thank Justin for going out of his way to help us out during this difficult time."

What's Next?
