Well, look like Children of Bodom will not be playing in Albany at all. The band winded up cancelling the rest of the tour, because Alexi Laiho’s arm have been feeling much worse. He already played the New York City show but after a couple of songs, that’s when he realized he couldn’t play at all.

The guitarist injured his arm on the tour bus while sleeping on the bunk, the driver took a sharp turn, which made him fall off the bed and crash onto the floor pretty hard.

Most bands that get injured or sick while on tour, sometimes cancel the rest of the tour. Not with Children of Bodom! Children of Bodom is a metal band that is not that well known but they are well known to the metal community. Alexi Laiho, the band’s main man, guitarist and frontman was sleeping in his bunk on the tour bus…the driver took a very sharp turn, which Alexi fell off the bunk and crashed onto the bus floor pretty hard. He broke his shoulder.

He vows to finish the rest of the tour. He can still sing and play guitar, but can not move and dance around on stage, and can’t sing as loudly. My guess he will have to lip synch the rest of the tour?

Advice to all bands out there. If you get sick, or get injured, play your shows anyway!!! Nothing is stopping you from playing music.

Edit to add: By the way, Albany, this band is making a stop in our town on May 13th, at the Washington Armory. This is a cool band here. I dig ’em.
