From Korn to Poison the Well, many bands who have hit the road this past year have been struck by COVID-19 cases within their touring parties despite careful protocols and precautions, disrupting their plans. The latest group to be thusly derailed is Evanescence, who have been crossing the country with Halestorm, playing their first live shows since the release of Amy Lee and Co.’s decade-in-the-making comeback album, The Bitter Truth. The band have just announced that they are postponing the remaining 2021 tour dates — in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Camden, Newark, and Worcester — due to multiple COVID-19 cases within the touring party. See the rescheduled dates below.
Evanescence bandleader Amy Lee commented, “We’ve done everything we could to try and make it work, but with multiple positive COVID tests in our touring party it just wouldn’t be right to continue the show schedule as is. All the bands and crew have been so diligent with every precaution to keep this from happening, but this virus is a real bitch! We are all vaccinated and nobody’s symptoms are severe, we are very grateful for that.
“This tour has been an unforgettable experience that we are so proud of. From the production, to our fantastic crew, to Halestorm and Lilith Czar and Plush — and most of all, to you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to you incredible fans for making this dream a reality, and making it mean so much more that we ever imagined it could. Thank you for your understanding. We love you!”
