ESCAPE THE FATE will not be joining Bullet For My Valentine on their European tour that kicks off this weekend in Helsinki.  Instead the band will remain in the states to support their band mate, bassist Max Green, as he enters an undisclosed rehab for drug and alcohol addiction.

“Max needs his friends and family by his side, so we’re not gonna leave him,” says lead singer Craig Mabbitt.  “Max is one of my best friends and has never done this band wrong in any way shape or form. It’s very honorable of him to admit he has a problem and wants to seek help for the longevity of his life and this band. I’m so sorry to the fans, but so proud of Max. He needs our love and support through this rough time in his life, so let’s give it to him. Our soldiers never let us down and we will be back to play Europe and the two dates very soon. We love you guys.”

SCAPE THE FATE will headline a string of European dates in early 2011. Tickets for the two London headline shows that were scheduled for December 6th and 7th at the Islington Academy will be honored when these shows are rescheduled early next year.  Check www.escapethefate.com for updates.
