Anthrax and Pantera drummer Charlie Benante recently injured his hand. As such, he will be sitting out his upcoming live appearances. Darby Todd (Devin Townsend, The Darkness, etc.) will be filling in. Benante issued the following statement:

“I wanted to let everyone know that I unfortunately injured my right hand and, following my doctor’s orders, I’ll be sitting out a handful of shows from June 20 through July 4 to give it the proper time to heal. I’m incredibly grateful that Darby Todd will be stepping in behind the kit for these dates and helping keep the shows rolling while I recover. I’m already focused on getting healthy and look forward to being back on the road soon. Thank you all for the support and understanding.”
