Pierce The Veil guitarist Tony Perry will miss the band’s upcoming Vans Warped Tour dates after sustaining serious injuries in a mountain bike accident.
He’s undergone surgery for a collapsed lung, torn shoulder, broken sternum and three broken ribs.
Frontman Vic Fuentes reports: “His surgery went very well and he’s expected to make a full recovery.
“He was released from the hospital yesterday – but due to doctors’ orders, he will not be joining us for the Warped Tour until he’s healthy enough to play.”
Fuentes says Pierce The Veil will keep playing until Perry’s return, and adds: “Your support is greatly appreciated, so be sure to send Tony some love while he’s healing up!”
The band are expected to release their fourth album this year. The Vans Warped Tour kicks off tonight, while details of the UK edition starring Asking Alexandria and Black Veil Brides have just been announced.
