After encountering a passport snafu that prevented him from playing the first few shows of their UK tour, Spineshank and their vocalist Jonny Santos have been reunited on the road. The aforementioned situation saw the industrial nü-metal band temporarily recruit Hostage vocalist James Mills to cover the dates. Spineshank confirmed Santos‘ return this morning, November 09th, stating on social media:
“Everyone show some major love to @jayhostileuk this guy came through and literally saved our tour while Jonny was making his way over. He had less than two days to learn an entire album, and still managed to exceed every single expectation. Every night he absolutely crushed it on stage. An incredible performer, and an even better human being. You’re forever part of this family now. We love you James“
Santos actually managed to rejoin the band during their set last night, November 08th, in Norwich, UK, after driving directly to the venue from the airport. Fan-filmed footage of him sharing the stage alongside Mills at that show can be seen below.
