Anthrax To Be Rejoined By Bassist Dan Lilker During Upcoming Live Shows

Anthrax have revealed that they will be reuniting with bassist Dan Lilker for their upcoming Latin American tour and two U.S. festivals. He will be filling in for Frank Bello, who is sitting out the dates “due to personal reasons.”

Lilker commented:

“I’m really looking forward to jamming with Anthrax again. When we parted ways back in 1984, they told me to stick around because they might need me in 40 years.”

The band continued:

“We’re all very excited about with playing with Danny again, and we really appreciate his filling in for Frank. It’s been way too long since we played South America, so you don’t want to miss these shows, they’re going to be insane.”

Bello added:

“I wanted to let all my friends know that I’m sorry that I won’t be coming to play the upcoming Anthrax dates in Mexico, South America or the couple of U.S. festival dates in May. Everything’s OK, but for personal reasons, I won’t be able to make those shows. I want to thank my friend Danny Lilker for stepping in for me; he’s gonna rock it! Enjoy the shows. I’m sure they will be great, and I’ll look forward to seeing you all soon.”
