Godsmack Postpone Fall 2018 European Tour Following Death Of Guitarist Tony Rombola’s Son

Godsmack announced that they’ve postponed their fall 2018 European tour, following the news that guitarist Tony Rombola’s son has died. A message from vocalist Sully Erna stated, “with my deepest regrets, and on behalf of our guitarist Tony and his wife Sue, I am personally writing this message to all of our fans worldwide to inform you that Tony and his family have suffered a loss that no parent should ever have to endure. Tony and Sue’s son Joe Fay passed away last week, unexpectedly, at the young age of 34. He was one of the kindest and most humble guys I had ever met. And most importantly, he was a FAN. Just like all of you. He literally lived the success of Godsmack through his dad. He was always so excited and proud just to be around all of us, and we will all miss him deeply.” Erna stated that the band would resume touring in early 2019, and will honor all the European tour dates they will miss.  The European tour was set to begin on Oct. 29 in Stockholm, Sweden, concluding on Nov. 27 in Sofia, Bulgaria. Show announcements are expected to be revealed soon.
