PAPA ROACH Raises Over £40,000 For 'Campaign Against Living Miserably' Suicide Prevention Organization

Hard-rock heavyweights PAPA ROACH made their triumphant return for five unforgettable shows across the U.K., including London's famed The O2. These performances follow what Kerrang! called a "career-defining performance" at Wembley Arena in 2025 — their only U.K. show on that tour.

The band's most important gift outside the raucous and energetic performances is their global commitment to raising awareness and funds for suicide prevention, donating £40,000 to CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) suicide prevention organization in the U.K. This follows the £20,000 donation to CALM they made in 2025. PAPA ROACH has donated over $750,000 since 2023 in the name of the cause.

PAPA ROACH frontman Jacoby Shaddix said: "This run of shows in the U.K. was our biggest yet, and the fans really showed up. We are so grateful to fans who showed up across the U.K. and helped us to give back in support of an important cause."

Simon Gunning, CEO of Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM),said: "We can't thank PAPA ROACH enough for their continued support. By sharing CALM's message on a huge scale, and raising funds for our life-saving services, they're making a real difference and showing the incredible power music has when it comes to suicide prevention."

PAPA ROACH is still seeing massive streams worldwide from "Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)" with duet partner Carrie Underwood where all profits go to the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention (AFSP). The track and campaign were recognized in the 2025 Clio Music Awards, where it received a Bronze award in the category of Social Good.

Last month, PAPA ROACH announced the 2027 U.S. leg of its "Rise Of The Roach Tour". The extensive 30-date trek will tear across the United States, following up the 2025 highly successful 34-stop of the same title. Joining the tour as special guests are horror metal icons ICE NINE KILLS and rising force NINTH KEY.

In September, PAPA ROACH canceled its appearance at the Louder Than Life festival after "an unexpected emergency" involving the band's bassist Tobin Esperance.
