Light The Torch cancels US tour over COVID-19 concerns

Light the Torch (formerly Devil You Know), the band fronted by former Killswitch Engage singer Howard Jones, have pulled out of their planned September tour with Motionless in White, citing safety concerns for the band members and their crew amidst surging Covid-19 infection rates in the U.S.

The band has released an official statement about the matter and you can read it below:

“We are sorry to announce that we are pulling off of the September tour with Motionless in White and all of the festivals along the tour. We have concerns about the ability to keep ourselves and our crew healthy and the ramification we could incur if shows need to be cancelled in this current climate.

“We were really looking forward to playing for all of you again, supporting our new album, and sharing the stage with Motionless in White. Ultimately it was a very difficult decision, but one that we felt we had to make. We wish we had better news.

“At this point we just want to say thank you to all of our fans for your understanding. We couldn’t be a band without your continued support. Be careful and safe out there and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.”
