Update: Adding to the original story, As I Lay Dying's tour manager Alex Kendrick has quit. Kendrick issued a statement on his Twitter, saying: "I no longer work for As I Lay Dying – I do not wish to be asked questions nor will I answer any. I've made life long memories that will never be forgotten but my chapter of the book has completed. I wish everyone the best of luck and clearly I'm still rocking with Phil out here."
Original story: As I Lay Dying is having a weird closer to their year. On one hand, As I Lay Dying is set to release their new record Through Storms Ahead on November 15. On the other hand, bassist Ryan Neff just left As I Lay Dying with very little to say, and now it seems their European tour for this November might be cancelled.
According to a statement issued by the Progresja venue in Warsaw, Poland, the band's tour is kaput: "As I Lay Dying have made the difficult decision to cancel their entire European tour, which was to include a Warsaw concert on November 26 at the Progresja club. All tickets purchased for this concert can be returned directly to the points of purchase. We count on the artists' quick return to Poland!"
We'll update this story as more information becomes available. As I Lay Dying has not yet commented on the potential tour cancellation or Neff's departure from the group. Should the above not be true, As I Lay Dying will hit the road for their European tour featuring Caliban, Decapitated, and Left To Suffer starting on November 15.
