Sevendust announce new temporary guitarist

Sevendust‘s guitarist and vocalist Clint Lowery will be absent for a significant portion of the band’s upcoming international tour with Alter Bridge and Daughtry, as per theprp. In a video statement released on January 4th, Lowery explained the reasons for his inability to participate and announced his temporary replacement. During the affected dates, the band’s manager, Tim Tournier, will serve as Lowery’s substitute.

Hello Sevendust Family,
As the video states I will unfortunately be missing the front portion of the upcoming European tour with our brother in @officialalterbridge – it’s a hard decision that I had to make but the right one for the season of life I’m in currently. I adore the European fanbase there. I’ve had the pleasure of touring there a good amount and the passion from the people there is incredible. My brother @timothysonoftimothy will do an amazing job filling in no doubt. I think it’s crucial the band have a presence there and appreciate the bands support on my decision. I’ve done this since I was 18 years old and have loved touring . At this stage I have to prioritize my family and well being. Support my @sevendustofficial brothers. I will join them soon to finish it off. God is good. I love all of you and thanks for your support and understanding

Unfortunately I’m not going to be able to make the front half of this tour for a couple of reasons. First off, family commitments. I made a promise to my kids years ago I would not be gone a certain amount of time anymore. I’ve done some long stretches in my career and I have to honor that promise and make sure that I’m present for them as well. Secondly, I had a couple health issues last year. I have a couple tests coming up just to confirm everything is cool there before I join the band. – Clint Lowery
