All Time Low cancel events in UK; Alex Gaskarth on vocal rest

February 3, 2012

All Time Low has canceled a couple of events in the UK due to frontman Alex Gaskarth's “upper respiratory cold/infection/thing.” The group has no plans to cancel any shows, and Gaskarth will be on vocal rest for the time being. Check out the statement below:

“I wanted to make the first official announcement regarding a few cancellations per my faulty voice pipes.

As some of you may know, I’ve been struggling with an upper respiratory cold/infection/thing for the past week, and last night in Southampton it finally took it’s toll. We ended up cutting a handful of songs, but managed to get through the end of the set with a lot of help from the audience. (Thanks for that, by the way.)

Regardless, I am now on major voice rest because I absolutely refuse to cancel these last shows.

With that in mind, I won’t be DJing FaceDown @ Scala tonight, and we will be canceling our signing tomorrow at Banquet Records.

I’m really sorry that we won’t be able to make it out to the extra events, but the shows matter most, and I want to be as healthy as possible for both.

Thanks to everyone for being understanding! Being a human sucks sometimes… I need robot pipes like Ke-Dollarsign-Ha.”
