Modern Life Is War cancel appearances with Bane due to drummer Luke Rauch's battle with cancer

In February, Bane announced a handful of shows in the Northeast along with The Suicide File, Colin Of Arabia, Modern Life Is War and others. Shortly after that announcement, MLIW shared that drummer Luke Rauch had been diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer and would seek treatment in hopes that the band could still perform on their upcoming shows, even while Rauch was undergoing treatment.

Today the Iowa hardcore outfit shared that they will sadly have to miss those scheduled dates due to Rauch and his ongoing chemo treatments lasting through the month of June. So in his best interests, the band has decided to remove themselves from the events.

If you would like to donate to the ongoing GoFundMe for Rauch, you can do so here.

Killing Time has been named as the replacement for Modern Life Is War.

The band shared the following:

In February our drummer Luke was diagnosed with colon cancer. After undergoing surgery it was determined to be STAGE 3 requiring chemo treatments. We had hoped we may still be able to play the upcoming Bane shows but with his chemo treatments lasting through June we are unable to do so. As much as we hate to cancel, Luke's health is our top priority at this time.
