Taking Back Sunday guitarist John Nolan will be sitting out the band's tour with Coheed And Cambria. During his absence, Fred Mascherino will be filling in.
Nolan commented:
“The band has always prioritized family, but finding the right balance between being at home and being on tour is always difficult. Coming into this summer I realized I needed to dedicate time to the well-being of my family. Adam and Shaun understood, and we worked together to find a way for the tour to move forward without me. My first thought was to reach out to Fred and luckily that made sense to everyone, and he was happy to participate.”
Mascherino added:
“Playing with Taking Back Sunday again was something I’d been wanting for a while, but it feels surreal now that it’s happening. For me, it’s a story about healing. We were young back then and I needed to learn things about myself. I reconnected with Adam a little while ago and was just trying to rebuild the friendship. That makes this bigger for me than just being on the stage. That said, I’ve always been grateful these songs have endured, and I’m excited to play and sing them with everyone this summer.”
