Every Time I Die/The Damned Things bassist Josh Newton has been tapped to fill in for Volbeat‘s Anders Kjølholm on the remaining stops of the bands ongoing U.S. touring. The following statement was issued from the Volbeat camp on the matter:
“Due to recent developments, our bassist and friend, Anders Kjølholm, has taken a necessary break from the U.S. tour and returned home to Denmark to be with his family. Everyone is doing well, and we ask that you understand this is a personal matter and give Anders and his family the privacy they need.
Filling in for Anders and pulling double duty will be our good friend Josh Newton from The Damned Things. We want to thank Josh and The Damned Things camp for stepping up and helping us out.
– Volbeat“
