From Autumn To Ashes cancel July shows following Francis Mark's motorcycle injury
After vocalist Francis Mark was involved in a motorcycle racing incident, From Autumn To Ashes has been forced to cancel their upcoming California run scheduled for next month. Mark was racing on a vintage flat track before losing control and wrecking, leaving the vocalist with some broken bones which require surgery and will result in a lengthy recovery around two months.
Hopefully, Mark will be healed in time for the Lambgoat sponsored "The End Is Near Party" Furnace Fest pre-party featuring headliners From Autumn To Ashes and With Honor. The two-stage event is scheduled for October 2nd at Workplay in Birmingham,AL and will also feature With Blood Comes Cleansing, Thoughtcrimes, The Undertaking!, Before There Was Rosyln, Lethal Method, Stay Lost, and Blind Tiger.
UPDATE: Word from the band says they still plan on appearing at the Furnace Fest party.
The band shared the following:
Sorry to disappoint , but I had a bit too much fun racing vintage flat track over the weekend. Broke some bones and had some surgery.
The good news is I'll recover but the bad news is that it won't happen in time for me to play the shows in California. I need at least 2 months, maybe more. Wouldn't be a good show , or good for my health if I tried to push it. Hope to reschedule the shows for a date as soon as I'm capable.Thanks to the paramedics and my friends at the track who looked after me. To the nurses and doctors who fixed me up. To my family and bandmates. Yes, I know motorcycles are dangerous, but I still love em. Wear a good helmet.
Enjoy your summer and I hope to see you soon
