The Amity Affliction’s Ahren Stringer will be sitting out the band’s upcoming live shows amid his struggles with mental health and addiction issues. During his absence, True North‘s Tim Beken will be filling in.
The band commented:
“In what is the most heartbreaking news, we have to tell you that Ahren won’t be joining us on the remainder of our North American tour dates. Tim Beken, who many of you will know from True North, will join us for all upcoming shows until Ahren returns.
This decision is in the best interest of Ahren‘s mental health and well-being. He is returning to Australia to address his struggle with addiction and get the support he needs.
This tour has been our best US tour ever, and we look forward to seeing you on the road. Please feel free to bring signs of support for Ahren that we can send to him at home, now more than ever he needs as much support as we can possibly give him.
Thank you for understanding and please respect Ahren‘s privacy as well as ours, this is a heartbreaking matter that we will be working through internally as we look forward to his recovery and return.”
