Update, 4:51pm EDT, October 17th: Decrepit Birth have just announced they will be dropping off the full tour. Details here

Original Post: 

The currently-in-progress, MetalSucks-sponsored Bloodletting North America Tour XII has been dealt a most heinous blow.

This year’s all-star lineup includes Arsis, Decrepit Birth, Internal Bleeding, Pyrexia, Angelmaker and Within Destruction. Unfortunately, Decrepit Birth will have sit out “the next 4 or so shows.” The reason? Well…

“ATTENTION! Bill broke his femur on Saturday while performing at the Glass House in Pomona, California. He was seriously injured and was rushed to the hospital where he is getting surgery done for his leg. Unfortunately we will miss the next 4 or so shows while we wait with him at the hospital. We will catch back up with the tour asap and finish this off even if we have to wheel Bill out in a wheelchair on stage. He says whatever it takes! Which is pretty fucking crazy!”

That obviously sucks, and we wish Bill a speedy recovery. He joins a proud lineage of great frontmen who have performed despite suffering injuries that have left them unable to stand, including Axl Rose and Dave Grohl. Not terrible company.

The silver lining is that even with Decrepit Birth missing some gigs, there are still five killer bands on the trek! Remaining dates are as follows:
