Miss May I announce tour and other news you might have missed today

It's been a tough couple of days.

With the passing of Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, it feels like the world has stopped, just as it started to turn again after we lost Chris Cornell. The problem with tragedy, though, is that the world doesn't really stop—life keeps ebbing and flowing and moving forward, even while we are stuck in place. But there's something beautiful in the fact that life, and more specifically music, in all its forms is triumphant and healing, and it surges ahead as a guiding light even at times when we just can't keep up. 

All we can hope for from this is to learn, grow and remember to tell our friends and family that we love them. In the meantime, hopefully music will be for you whatever it needs to be—a grieving process, a distraction, a glimmer of hope. Here is the music news you may have missed today; hopefully, it helps to heal you in whatever way you need.
