posted in: Music News

The Amity Affliction has revealed that their vocalist was recently hospitalized, resulting in the band’s decision to play karaoke style at a few tour stops.

In a new statement, The Amity Affliction revealed that Joel Birch has been hospitalized. The band would not go into details, but did admit to having plans to continue on while Birch recovers. Their full statement reads:

Hi all,
Apologies for having to pull out of our show in Pittsburgh, Joel was pretty unwell! He still won’t be right to go by tomorrow but thanks to our bros, Sam from ARCHITECTS and Chris from Like Moths to Flames, we will be good to go for Cleveland. It will be a bit like Amity Karaoke so you’ll have to scream along with them! We hope to have Joel back for Detroit! Once again sorry to everyone who missed seeing us today. Promise we will come back to Pittsburgh soon.

We wish Birch a full recovery. More information will be posted as it becomes available.
