Show in Belo Horizonte: Pierre clears up untrue rumors

On Thursday, Simple Plan performed their second show in Brazil this year – at the Music Hall in the city of Belo Horizonte.

And after the past few days of concerning fans’ speculations swirling around the Internet regarding the possibility of David leaving the band after the sudden announcement of him not being able to attend the South American tour, Pierre decided to clear up these rumors at the show in BH. According to the concert goers, Pierre confirmed that they are still a band with 5 members, hinting on the fact that David is not going anywhere. That is also supported by the band’s official statement, which says that they look forward to playing with him on the shows next year. Check out the video of Pierre getting his point across on a video here.

One more thing regarding David’s absence: apparently during some parts of the shows when Seb plays David’s bass, Chady can be spotted in the background playing Seb’s electric guitar – Pierre also confirmed this in his “David speech” last night – see a video of that here (thanks to Bruno for the info).

Setlist-wise, the concert in Belo Horizonte was identical to the one in Sao Paulo. The band didn’t choose to change any song on the list:
