DEAR EU/UK FANS,

I sadly have to cancel my headlining European dates this summer.

Our tumultuous economic climate has strained the entire touring industry. Taking a show across the Atlantic, especially one that does this music justice, will not be possible for me this year.

Europe has given me some of the most meaningful nights of my career on stage. I don’t cancel lightly, and I don’t take your time, your plans, or your trust for granted. I’m disappointed, as I know you are, but more than anything I’m grateful for your support. I’ll be back when it’s possible to give you the experience you deserve.

I’m excited to still perform in Europe this summer — Wacken Open Air, July 31st. Release day for my new album, «The Singularity: Ekleipsis.» I hope to see you there, and at my West Coast dates in September.

-Bear
