Gojira guitarist/vocalist Joseph Duplantier has revealed that he is recovering from hand surgery. As such, the band have recruited Car Bomb’s Greg Kubacki to handle his guitar parts on their upcoming French tour. Duplantier commented:
“Hey! I hurt my hand a few weeks ago. After getting minor surgery, I’m on the mend but unfortunately I won’t be able to play all my guitar parts on the next tour in France… No worries though, we hired our good friend [Greg Kubacki] of the incredible [Car Bomb] to ‘Give us a hand’. The mood in our camp is up there though, as we’re embarking for an interesting experience on our own turf. Show must go ooooon”
