Even though the members of the band have already previously confirmed that David is not going anywhere and that they are still a band that consists of five members, some fans still needed some more reassurance about how David is doing, after his announcement that due to personal reasons he won’t be able to take part in the whole South American tour.
And obviously, due to the fact that the fans have no knowledge of whether these personal problems are concerning David’s health or whether it’s something of different nature, they were understandably very worried.
That is why today, after the four members of Simple Plan published a selfie together at an airport, when heading to Rio de Janeiro, one of the fans decided to ask SP what was going on. And to a great surprise Simple Plan responded to this comment [in French] saying “David is doing well. Everything is OK.”
Around the same time, David personally commented on one of Jeff’s latest pictures on Instagram, saying “I feel like you’ll be having a caipirinha or two! Be safe out there! ;)”
Hopefully this will come as another reassurance that everything is alright and David will be back with his bandmates on tour in the new year.
