Born From Pain singer leaves tour

Because he required eye surgery, Born From Pain singer Rob Franssen was forced to leave the group's current tour with Terror et al. Here's a statement from the band: "As some of you might have heard already, Rob had to face a very serious surgery on his eyes which forced him to leave our current tour with Terror, Stick To Your Guns, and Trapped Under Ice. What we know so far is that surgery went well and we all hope he can return to us in about two weeks. In the meantime, everybody on this tour wishes him all the best for his recovery! "For the time being, David [Wood] from Terror aka singer for Down To Nothing is more than willing to fill in for Rob, making sure we don't have to cancel any of the upcoming shows. Much appreciated, thank you very much, David! Also, big thanks to Martín, Chucky, Courtney, Justice, Scott and Brendan who were crazy enough to jump in on such a short notice and made Schweinfurt and Prague see a crazy special Born From Pain set!"
