David expected to be back with Simple Plan for festival in his hometown Matane, QC

A press conference about the upcoming Éole en musique festival in Canada was held yesterday and revealed some new information about this three-day event, which is expected to attract about 25 000 people.

More acts have been added to the line-up and it has been announced that Final State will be opening for Simple Plan on August 12th.

According to Radio Canada, the promoters of this festival also revealed some very interesting news regarding the return of David Desrosiers to Simple Plan on this event, which takes place in his hometown – the city of Matane, Quebec. As you know, on May 25th it was announced that due to his struggles with depression, David would not be able to join Simple Plan on their European tour and would take the time to try to get better. At the press conference, the promoters specified the following:

“At the moment, everything indicates that David Desrosiers, bassist of Simple Plan originating from Matane, will be performing on August 12, in spite of health problems, unless stated otherwise.”

If nothing changes, this could mean David’s possible return on stage for the band’s shows in August, which include a number of festivals in Canada and also the whole tour across the United States. On the other hand, no official statement regarding David’s current health situation has been given, so we will have to wait and see what the future brings. We still all wish David all the best and hope he takes as much time as he needs to recover.
