During Make Them Suffer’s November 23 show at Bogart’s in Cincinnati, OH, keyboardist/vocalist Alex Reade was forced to leave the stage early due to illness. The musician was “physically unable to stand and continue to perform.”
Reade commented:
“Hey Cincinnati!!
Last night I was so sick on stage I had to leave the set/stage early which I have never had to do in my life and in almost 20 years of performing.
I started to black out/pass out on stage, and as the set progressed, I was physically unable to stand and continue to perform before imminent collapse, my body was shaking.
Cincinnati I love playing your city, you always bring incredible energy, I’m sorry to let you down last night.
We will make it up to you when we return again xx”
She later added:
“Thanks ya’ll for the messages I am okkkkk!!!! (Ish.) Still sick, in fact I think the whole tour party is sick, but Philly this show tonight is gonna smashhhhhh let’s go”
The band issued a statement as well:
“Cincinnati, thank you for looking out for us. Last night we had to stop our set early after Alex began blacking out. We’ve never had to stop a set or cancel a show in 10+ years of touring. It put us in a situation we weren’t prepared for and it wasn’t a decision we took lightly. Health always comes first. We had fun while it lasted and it was good to be back — we appreciate you more than you know.”
