DESTRUCTION On Verge Of Canceling UK Tour

October 24, 2002

DESTRUCTION's UK tour appears to be on the verge of cancellation after bassist/vocalist Schmier's hand injury — suffered a couple of weeks ago during the group's American trek — was deemed more serious than originally thought.

"This situation really sucks!" Schmier wrote on the band's official web site.

"I feel terrible!

"The plaster on my hand is far to big - it gives me a hard time to handle my fuckin´ bass.

"I did play with the broken hand for one week in the States. This didn't help. I need my fingers and can not risk any further complications. It was broken for already two weeks before I went to see a doctor, I thought it wasn't that bad but...

"I know it is my own fault, but sometimes things drive you crazy and you lose control!

"I am sorry for that situation and we will try to find a solution ASAP.

"We have waited for so fuckin' long to finally come back to the UK, I would hate my guts more than anybody else if those shows won't happen.

"How did the injury happen? Oh no you don't wanna know...

"CHEERS to all the dedicated fans out there - YOU RULE! SCHMIER!!!"
