Parkway Drive issues update on their status: “We are here to stay”

In April Parkway Drive announced it will be cancelling upcoming North American tour because of some internal crisis within the band. Now it looks that the band is getting back on track again slowly from mental health issues and has released a statement saying they are here to stay. You can read the statement below:

“The last few years have been tough on everyone. Having toured non-stop for 17 years, the shut down was a major challenge. While we set our minds on other creative paths, we also gained a greater perspective of the impact this band has had on us. Mental health is an ever present issue within our society and we are no exception. As touring started back up, we found ourselves at a crossroads. Continue down the same path, risk more damage and more than likely destroy the band and ourselves, or take the time needed to do the work on ourselves and heal. We are doing the work and know that ultimately, this was the correct choice. Thank you again for your understanding. At the end of the day, we are all just humans doing the best we can. Be kind, and please speak to someone if you need help.

“For the record, we are here to stay.”
