Seether Cancels All August Performances As Singer Shaun Morgan Enters Rehab
New York --- Seether front man Shaun Morgan has admitted to himself and
those close to him that he needs help and is
making the proactive move
to seek it.
Following scheduled appearances this week, all future plans
have been placed on hold until further notice. Morgan, who has
established himself
as one of the leading singers in rock over the past
five years,
has made a personal choice to attack what
he sees as a
dependence on a combination of substances.
The band had planned to tour
in August with Staind behind their recently released live acoustic album
One Cold Night. The opportunity to perform this repertoire in an
acoustic setting is something the band hopes to do at some point in the
future. Morgan commented, "I'm deeply sorry that this news comes
right
before a planned tour, especially one that I was so excited about, and I
hope that everyone understands. I need help with addictions that I can't
kick on my own. These things are making me sick, and could potentially
harm me permanently, so I need
to take care of them as soon as possible.
I hope the tour goes well, and we hope to be on the road again soon.
Thank you
again for your understanding and support."
Over the last two years, Seether has performed in excess of four hundred
shows. Compounded with the stresses of promoting and supporting the
Karma & Effect album, and then recording and promoting One Cold Night
without any form of an extended hiatus, Morgan has spread himself too
thin and in turn made decisions he now regrets. |
