Man, Sepultura‘s present tour with Crowbar and Sacred Reich has been fraught for some time now. First, Sacred Reich frontman Phil Rind was hospitalized with a non-COVID-related sickness, forcing his band to overlook a number of exhibits on the trek. Now, it’s been revealed that Sepultura drummer Eloy Casagrande has damaged his leg, and must miss the ultimate 4 dates on the tour.

Casagrande issued the next assertion concerning his damage, alongside X-ray pictures, in a since-deleted publish through his Instagram. You could find a screenshot of the publish beneath, through Blabbermouth.

 “It’s with deep disappointment that I announce that I’ve sadly damaged my proper leg. Yesterday, on the El Paso present, through the break between songs I ended up falling off the stage and fracturing my tibia and fibula. I’m going again to Brazil to begin the restoration. I’ll see you quickly! The tour will proceed, however with out me. Extra information coming quickly. I ask on your assist.”

On the one hand, that’s an enormous bummer, and we want Eloy all the very best. On the opposite, we surprise why the posts had been deleted.
