Periphery drummer Matt Halpern has been forced to sit out the band’s Australian touring in light of recently welcoming his second child into the world. The tour will proceed as planned next month however, with David Parkes of I Built The Sky taking fill in for the trek.
Halpern issued the following video statement on that:
We’re excited to say that Matt recently welcomed his 2nd child into his family! This means Matt will not be joining us in AU this November – he will be missed! He will be back for our tour with Spiritbox in 2025 & beyond. Tix for all AU shows available at https://t.co/RssbyIxfuy pic.twitter.com/6CCuukUBXv
