As previously reported, Phil Anselmo (Pantera, etc.) will be singing for Eyehategod at their show in New Orleans, LA, and during their appearance at the 2016 GWAR-B-Q, due to Mike IX Williams’ health issues. Anselmo has now commented on his guest spot, and you can see what he had to say below.
Anselmo said the following:
“When our brothers in one of New Orleans’ most influential music outfits needs me, I’m there, 1000%. There is no secret that I adore my brethren in Eyehategod, as I’ve always supported them through thick and thin. This present situation will be no different. In light of Michael D. William‘s health issues, which he needs to address more importantly than any other point in his life, and should be respected by anyone with a heart, I will do my best to fill in for him.
Those are mighty big shoes to fill, but I shall do my best, once again. I do believe I speak on behalf of the concerned parties when I state that we ALL NEED Mike IX Williams to heal, recover, and get better ASAP. These gigs are NOT about me; it is about keeping the obligations of EHG so, as a band and force, they are able to stay true to their commitments to these two gigs. My admiration of Mike and all his works, especially EHG, knows zero boundaries, hence, me doing these gigs. Here’s to Mike‘s recovery, and here’s to supporting these shows on his behalf. Much love to everyone.”
