Of Mice & Men have had to pull out due to Austin Carlile's health, but Issues have got us covered.

Over the past year or so, Austin Carlile's health has been a big point of discussion for fans and the media alike, with the band having to cancel numerous shows due to the singer's Marfan syndrome, a rare connective tissue disorder. Of course, it's better to be safe than sorry and due to his recent surgeries and their subsequent recovery period, the band has had to pull out from the tour last minute. (Get well soon, Carlile!).

A statement from Of Mice & Men reads:

"Due to Austin’s ongoing recovery from recent surgeries, Of Mice & Men are saddened to announce that they will no longer be able to join A Day To Remember on their Australian tour. The band appreciates your understanding and support of Austin's daily struggle with his chronic illness, and we want our fans to know that he is taking the time and measures needed to recover from his extensive hospital stay. We hope to see you all soon.”

However, when the universe taketh, it also giveth, as Issues are now the main support slot for A Day To Remember's headline tour next month, with Tonight Alive being the tour's local support. The last time that Issues were here was back in September 2014 when they supported The Amity Affliction, Architects and Stray From The Path. Now, since then, the Atlanta-based band has released their best to date in the form of 'Headspace', a big step up for the band and a record that continues their ever-growing popularity and with our summer getting in full swing, songs like 'Coma', 'Lost n' Found' and 'The Realest' are perfect jams for the season.
