Killswitch Engage vocalist Howard Jones has been forced to leave the band’s current tour due to “unforeseen circumstances”. No dates will be canceled with Phil Labonte from All That Remains filling in for the remainder of the tour. Dates can be found here.

Only fitting, as he was 2nd choice to be the replacement vocalist for Jesse. Wonder what came up for Howard…
ummmm wow…..interesting
Wow ok…this really, really sucks
My friend went to their Orlando show a few nights ago. Dark Tranquility and Devil Wears Prada both played… then the crowd has to wait an hour and a half before it was announced that KsE wasn’t going on. By that time, the stage was completely empty as if they had known it wasn’t going to happen for a while. While I agree shit happens and it sucks Howard got hurt or whatnot, it kinda blows they made fans wait for an hour and a half before telling them KsE wasn’t going on. They played in Orlando last night as a make up show… but nobody knew until they got to the venue that it wasn’t Howard singing. Supposedly Phil was hungover as fuck. I would’ve been livid if I showed up for a second night and they played without Howard.
I wondered why KSE was playing in Orlando last night and why Phil’s twitter said he was at the show as well. Makes sense. Pretty shitt though.
You have to give Phil credit here….he had less then 24hrs to fly out and join up with KsE only to play a headlining show. Its going to take a few shows to get a good rhythm with the band and to get all of the lyrics down I’m sure. But honestly I think its good they are trying to keep going on the tour. Bc if they were to cancel it would hurt more then them….you have The Devil Wears Prada and Dark Tranquility on the bill as well and they have a TON of shows planned out on this tour.
This better not be another Decyfer Down thing where the singer leaves for a few shows but then decides to leave completely….
I’m still debating if I should attempt to see them when they come to Milwaukee. I don’t want to end up getting screwed out of a show. I mean seeing Phil perform with them should be really interesting.
I’m sure once Phil gets into the groove it will still be a pretty good show. Tour was a tad pricey for me though (Not worth $35 IMO).
From what i’ve found out howard suffered a back injury and that he may be back before the end of the tour
