UK metallers Sikth have been forced to reschedule their shows on July 7 and July 8 due to vocalist Mikee's throat condition.
The two gigs - in London and Brighton - will be postponed (exact dates to be announced soon). Vocalist Mikee Goodman has issued the following statement:
"I have an inflamed throat caused by a throat virus I have had for over a month now. I tried lots of different medication throughout the month, and then booked an appointment in the ear, nose and throat specialist as soon as I could, which was this week. I was told by my doctor not to sing, shout or whisper for a week. I consulted my old vocal tutor and he agreed with the doctor saying that if I sing I will cause permanent damage to my vocal cords. I am so sorry to everyone and to all those who have travelled far to get to these shows. I really wanted to play this weekend. But did not want this to be the last show I ever sing at. Hope you understand and please come to the rest of the dates we are doing. Anyone who has tickets for Brighton or London, more news will follow on rescheduled dates."
In related news, vocalists Mikee, and second vocalist Justin Hill, will both be leaving the band in the forthcoming months.
Anyone interested in applying for the role/s of replacement singer/s, contact the band through sikthvocalist@googlemail.com.
They're all amazing! :) Glad they won! But ye...
