Not sure how anyone can like that band anymore, it’s clear they’re scumbags who don’t care about their fans.

I was getting ready to head to the show at White Oak when I got a text from a friend who works at the venue that said Evan Felker was MIA. It really sucks, he’s a very talented songwriter. I hope he gets his life straightened out.

Hopefully this shite is close to rock bottom. Video from a few weeks ago. Evan fricked up out of his mind slurring, forgetting words, leaves stage and comes back sans guitar and looks like he just crushed a crack pipe.

This is the first out right admittance by the band of the specific problem. Thats hopefully a good step.

Hopefully this is being responsible and letting their lead singer pull it together.

Better to cancel shows and take care of someone's health and life. It would be tragic trying to string out a tour and risking a true tragic end.

Good for them. I can't believe management kept putting him out there at this point.

They need to call it as a band, he’s not worth it. They are so damn good, but this sounds like it’s over.

I’ve got tickets for Red Rocks in 3 weeks, but I know about a 75% chance it never happens.

Felker is awesome but yeah. Without looking I'd bet they've cancelled more shows than they played since the Bossier show.

I hoped so but I don't think this will do it.

I think chances are much higher that's not happening. He needs time off and I hope he gets help.

Even if it did happen in three weeks, it would be sad to see him in his current mental state.

Their management kept booking shows instead of putting their foot down and addressing the problem. I can’t tell if it’s greed or delusion.

You’re watching a band slowly fall apart with every show they cancel.

This is what happens when you go all Nashville and sell out the varsity to where real fans can’t get tickets at the door
