Skeletonwitch say in a statement: "We want to set the record straight. Unfortunately, Chance is unable to finish out the tour as he has some serious personal matters to attend to. We ask you to respect his and our privacy regarding these matters.

"We've decided to finish out the tour as a four-piece. We made the assumption that Skeletonwitch fans would rather see four of us ripping through our songs, than a piece of paper on the door announcing our cancellation."
