Former Gallows frontman, and current singer pf Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes Frank Carter, has pulled out of several upcoming tour dates, citing mental health issues.
Carter had been due to tour Europe with Papa Roach in the coming days, but revealed that he’s been ‘fighting demons’, and has subsequently cancelled.
In a lengthy Facebook post, the singer explained his situation to his fans.
Carter starts the statement by saying “The past two years have been a whirlwind of intensity and high emotion for myself and my family. It has been both a wonderfully fulfilling and exciting place to be and at times a brutally bleak landscape that I have found myself walking in, alone and terrified.
“No person should ever have to constantly fight through demons […] So instead, I am taking some time away from touring to focus on finding the light within myself to be able to always find a safe passage through any situation that the dark labyrinthine confines of my mind can throw at me.
“I think the problem with the male aspect is that, to use an archaic word, we’re meant to be warriors […] We’re meant to be strong, we’re meant to be the alpha and to be the provider, we’re none of those things, let’s be honest, we’re just not built for that any more. The world is a very different place than it was 2000 years ago.
