ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante is going to miss a dozen shows with a hand injury.
Yes, that sounds like a sports story. Benante did miss the start of Anthrax’s current European tour due to a schedule conflict with Pantera but now he’s picked up this hand problem.
“I wanted to let everyone know that I unfortunately injured my right hand and following my doctor’s orders, I’ll be sitting out a handful of shows from June 20 through July 4 to give it the proper time to heal,” Benante said.
“I’m incredibly grateful that Darby Todd will be stepping in behind the kit for these dates and helping keep the shows rolling while I recover. I’m already focused on getting healthy and look forward to being back on the road soon. Thank you all for the support and understanding.”
