David to not attend the South American tour due to personal reasons

A very sad news shocked not only the South American fans today, when Simple Plan announced that “due to personal reasons, David will unfortunately not be able to travel with [SP] and play the upcoming shows in South America.”

The rest of the announcement is as follows: “Out of respect for our friend, we will not comment further. However, we want everyone to know that we fully support David and his decision and that we are looking forward to having him come back and rock with us at our shows in 2017. On behalf of David and the band, we would like to apologize to all our South American fans who might be disappointed by this news. With David’s blessing, the shows will go on and we look forward to some amazing concerts in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Peru!
See you there!”

It is currently unknown who will replace David on bass throughout the tour.
