Responding to negative fan comments on their decision via band’s official Facebook, the group highlighted current travel policies put in place against Russia, offering:

We are literally banned from playing Russia as it stands. Please stop with the idiotic comments. We realise our fans in Russia are not the ones to blame but under the current situation, this is the only path we can follow.
