Jaz Coleman, le chanteur de Killing Joke a disparu, à quelques semaines du début de leur tournée avec The Cult et The Mission.
Coleman avait accusé ces deux groupes du faible nombre de préventes vendues pour cette tournée, et annoncé le retrait de Killing Joke de celle-ci, contre l'avis du reste du groupe.
Voici le message qui a été posté hier par Killing Joke :
"Official Statement
A statement was posted on Facebook, reputedly by our singer, maligning both The Cult and The Mission and pulling us out of the shows.
He is now AWOL and has not contacted any of his band mates.
We are deeply embarrassed by this and offer our sincere apologies to all involved.
We are all concerned about our missing singer's welfare.
Killing Joke made a collective decision to play with The Cult and The Mission in September.
It was agreed by all of the band that we would do these shows. Indeed, we thought that they were something to look forward to, even though they were downsized.
We would still like to honour our commitment to this tour, the other bands, and all the Gatherers and people who have already bought tickets and made travel arrangements.
If this proves not possible, Killing Joke will make alternative arrangements to compensate for the trouble caused.
Meanwhile we are doing everything we can to make this tour happen and locate our missing singer.
