Bei einem Spaßkampf mit seinem Bruder Matthew – immerhin Berufsboxer – brach sich Sänger Claudio Sanchez die Hand, so dass er einige Wochen pausieren muss.
Die bereits gekauften Tickets für die ausgefallenen Coheed And Cambria-Konzerte im Januar behalten auch für die neuen Termine ihre Gültigkeit. Diese lauten wie folgt:
11.02. Koln – LiveMusicHall
17.02. Hamburg – Große Freiheit
18.02. Berlin – SO36
20.02. Munich – Georg Elser Halle
Leider werden Thrice bei den neuen Terminen nicht mehr dabei sein können, dafür kann man mit einem anderen ‚Special Guest‘ rechnen.
Hier noch die offizielle Pressemitteilung des Bandmanagements:
Sanchezs Inferno.
Coheed double-necker temporarily TKO’d with a broken hand.
The holidays lead to family fun, and in this case, too much fun.
In his first night home from a long year of touring, lead guitarist and vocalist Claudio Sanchez of the New York rock band, Coheed and Cambria suffered a broken hand while „sparring“ with his brother, Matthew. Matthew Sanchez is a boxer, and was clearly the winner of this one. The injury, fittingly nicknamed a „boxer’s fracture“, involves the ring finger and small finger of the right hand. The injury requires 3 weeks in a cast and a week or two of physical therapy.
Brother Matthew has inspired two characters in the Coheed and Cambria concept records; Matthew is a son of Coheed and Cambria in the story, and Inferno is the brother of Coheed, who is a Prize Fighter and modeled loosely after the younger Sanchez.
The band will be forced to postpone a portion of their upcoming tour dates in Europe with Thrice. Tickets can be exchanged for the new date. The rescheduled shows will not be with Thrice, as Thrice has other commitments. All shows in the UK will not be affected and will go on as planned.
