David shows new short hairdo at second NPNHJB show in NYC

AUTHOR: Dominika | 26. March 2017 | no comments

Last night, Simple Plan returned to New York City for the second time on the NPNHJB tour, as this original show became sold out so quickly, the band decided to add the March 10th date as well. And while setlist-wise, the show didn’t bring us any big surprises, one big surprise came from David, who finally let the public officially see his new short hairstyle. Even though we’ve known for a while that David has recently cut his hair, he has successfully managed to keep his new hairdo hidden under a hat at every concert so far – until now. See more pictures of David’s new hair in the gallery!

As mentioned above, the setlist in New York remained the same as the previous night, with the guys still keeping Grow Up as a part of the set. Check out the full setlist below:

1. I’d Do Anything
2. The Worst Day Ever
3. You Don’t Mean Anything
4. I’m Just A Kid
5. When I’m With You
6. Meet You There
7. Addicted
8. My Alien
9. God Must Hate Me
10. I Won’t Be There
11. One Day
12. Grow Up
13. Perfect

Encore:
14. Shut Up!
15. Jump
16. Boom
17. Your Love Is A Lie
18. This Song Saved My Life
19. Crazy
20. Welcome To My Life

Exclusive photos of Simple Plan at the airport in China

AUTHOR: Dominika | 2. March 2017 | no comments

As you know already, Simple Plan arrived to China earlier today to begin their short promotional trip there to support the release of the movie Snowtime, for which they recorded the song ‘The Heroes’. And before anyone asks, let’s to clear something up: you may notice that David is not on any of the pictures from China. Seems that David didn’t accompany the rest of the band on this trip either, however Jeff has responded to fans’ inquiries about David’s whereabouts and to quote him: “David is well and ready to tour. He’ll be there for the shows, don’t worry.” So truly – no need to worry, David will be back on the proper tour, which begins next week!

But back to the rest of the band. Our reader Cuchu from China was at the airport today to document the band’s arrival, so as promised, here’s the first little exclusive update from SP’s promo trip to China. Make sure to visit the gallery to check out some of the pictures Cuchu sent us:

David discusses first SP show in his hometown Matane in a new interview

AUTHOR: Dominika | 22. February 2017 | 1 comment

It’s not very often that we get to hear David giving out interviews, but since this one was regarding a topic directly concerning him, plus he was being interviewed by a couple of his old friends, David was very happy to give this interview to the radio station Choe FM 95.3 (big thanks to Emilie for the short recap of this interview).

In this interview, which you’ll be able to listen to in French below, David talked about Simple Plan’s upcoming appearance at a festival in his hometown, Matane. This will in fact be Simple Plan’s first show in this city. In 2010, when Simple Plan played at Pierre’s, Seb’s, Chuck’s and Jeff’s old high school – College Beaubois – David told them: “Hold on, there’s something wrong here. We have to play in Bas-du-Fleuve as well!” ‘Bas-du-Fleuve’ is a nickname to the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, Canada, where David comes from. He is very happy to see that the band is finally heading to his hometown.

David also discussed the fact that he has taken a week off to travel to L.A., before heading back home to practice with the band next week for their upcoming tours. He also once again mentioned that when the band was in South America without him, he took 2 months off before Christmas to rest and go back home to Matane to see his friends and family.

David skateboarding in California

AUTHOR: Dominika | 19. February 2017 | no comments

After some time off at home, David now seems to have relocated to California, where he was seen hanging out with two of his friends yesterday at Venice Beach. From the picture on the right (click on it to access the gallery), you can see more clearly that David has really cut his hair very short again [perhaps in preparation for the very throwback No Pads tour?].

It is currently unknown whether David is prolonging his holiday in California, or whether he is there for some band-related reason. But, Jeff has recently stated on Twitter that him and David would be heading to California “soon”. And given that Pierre and Chuck both reside in California, this looks like it could be a good place to get the band back together to either practice for the No Pads tour before they head to China and then consequently to the U.S. and Canadian tour, or maybe even work on something else.

And while we keep wondering what it all may be about, check out the following video David himself posted from his skateboarding times around Venice Beach yesterday:

David breaks silence about his absence on the last SP tour

AUTHOR: Dominika | 18. February 2017 | no comments


You may recall the beginning of the South American Simple Plan tour last December, when fans were very surprise to find out that David would not be joining the rest of the band on the tour due to personal reasons.

After months of being silent on this matter, with the next Simple Plan tour just weeks away, David finally spoke about his absence and also his return on tour in a new post on Instagram.

Check it out below:

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that I’ve been doing fine and I’m excited to be back on stage with the guys on the upcoming tour to play for y’all. Last year was quite an eventful and busy year and so I needed some time off living in my hometown recharging my batteries.

Thank you for understanding, I appreciate your support as well as the support of the band. See you very soon at the shows!

Peace love and light 🙏❤️✨
