Fans don’t seem to be too pleased with Falling In Reverse at the moment after they pulled out of the 95 Will Rock Fest last minute. Apparently, the band felt that they could not put on the show after realizing that their show laptops were missing. It’s unclear why the laptops are so significant (perhaps backing tracks, lighting automations, etc.).
Either way, a statement posted on Facebook by frontman Ronnie Radke is being met with some ire from fans:
Here’s what he had to say about the reason for the cancellation:
“I regret to inform you that we have to cancel and we have no other option. I’m sorry. And I never make videos like this, but I feel like I owe it to you guys. So we show up to rehearsal. We only planned to rehearse one time.
Because we just got off tour, we don’t need to rehearse that much. And we walk into rehearsals and our laptops are missing that we run all of our show on and stuff.
And as a band in 2022, you need your laptops. It’s like driving a car without an engine. It’s really unfortunate. Supposedly they are lost. Blame it on our crew, I guess. I don’t know how that happened; that’s never happened before.
[I’m] pretty upset about it. They are brand new laptops. And I’ll see you guys at Aftershock in Sacramento on October 2nd. I’m very sorry, guys.”
