Jason Hager, the guitarist for Spineshank, is leaving the band’s current “Nu Metal Sucks Tour”, as per theprp. The former Chimaira member disclosed that he has been dealing with physical and mental health problems that require attention in a statement released this morning, May 23. Primer 55 celebrated “Introduction To Mayhem” and (hed)p.e. performed “Broke” as part of the industrial nu metal band’s “Nu Metal Sucks Tour,” which is commemorating 25 years of “The Height Of Callousness.” Oceans On Other Planets is the opening act for this last leg of the series.
I’m sorry to say, that due to personal reasons, after our show tonight, at The Mercury, I will not be able to finish the rest of the Nu Metal Sucks Tour. I’m currently struggling with some mental, and physical health issues that I need to get under control. Otherwise I’m no good to the band, my family, myself, or all the fans. I love Spineshank, and every band member, and crew member are my family, and I need to be 100% every night for them, and most importantly the fans. So I need to take this time to get myself to that point.
Thank you to everyone who made the shows amazing up to this point! and I’m deeply sorry to the fans coming out to the rest of the shows that I won’t be there. Tommy Jr. is a beast, and is more than capable of holding it down. I guarantee the rest of the shows will be amazing.
Thank you all for understanding. You have not seen the last of me yet.
Forever grateful
Jason Hager
The band itself shared another additional statement.
Just to be clear, all shows and tours are still happening. We wish our friend Jason the best as he steps away to deal with personal things. Spineshank will be carrying on as a 4 piece, as we have always been, with Tommy Decker Jr. assuming all guitar duties. Thank you all for reaching out.
