As previously reported, Disturbed are currently planning to “take quite a bit of time off next year.” As such, some have speculated that it could be related to backlash stemming from frontman David Draiman’s fierce support of Israel. The band’s Brussels, Belgium show was recently cancelled due to his stance, which saw him going as far as signing an artillery shell in Israel. Despite the controversy, Draiman has confirmed that the break is only motivated by a need for rest. The singer issued the following statement:
“For the record;
1. Taking a break because we’re TIRED, PERIOD.
2. Any spin by the media is just that…spin. We’re all doing great, and are on great terms.
3.The European tour was the biggest of our career. We played to packed arenas every night. Let’s do it again sometime”
