Avenged Sevenfold guitarist Synster Gates ended up injuring his leg during the band’s July 19 show at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA. The incident occurred seven songs into the set and it resulted in a 20 minute delay. As such, the group were forced to cut several songs from their performance. Frontman M. Shadows commented:
“Hey guys – SG is back and seems like a pretty severe contusion of his calf. He’s got crutches and can’t walk on it at the moment. Gonna be sore for a few days. Doc said it could be from dehydration, possibly last night’s show, the heat and not enough water today. Bottom line is he’s watching it closely and hopefully be able to stand on it soon.”
