DEVILDRIVER: Canadian Shows In Jeopardy Due To Bassist Injury

July 20, 2011

California metallers DEVILDRIVER may be forced to cancel their appearances at this coming weekend's Heavy MTL and Heavy T.O. festivals in Canada due to an injury suffered by the band's bassist, Aaron "Bubble" Patrick (ex-BURY YOUR DEAD).

DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafaratweeted the following earlier today: "Canada hold on and offer prayer as our bass player injured himself and we are awaiting if we will make these 2 shows or not ! KeepU Informed"

Heavy MTL and Heavy T.O. will both be held July 23-24, with Heavy MTL taking place at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, Quebec and Heavy T.O. occurring simultaneously at Downsview Park in Toronto, Ontario.

Bubble joined DEVILDRIVER as the replacement for Jonathan Miller, who quit DEVILDRIVER in March, calling it "the most difficult decision of my life" but "something that I needed to do for myself."

"Beast", the fifth album from DEVILDRIVER, sold a little over 11,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 42 on The Billboard 200 chart.
