Every Time I Die are finishing up their tour in support of Radical, but they won’t have vocalist Keith Buckley on stage with them.

Announced today, Buckley will be dropping on the final three shows on tour for mental health reasons. The vocalist will return for Every Time I Die’s annual holiday shows. A statement from the band can be seen below:

“Mental Health is a real issue and when not treated has an impact on so many people. Keith needs to take this time to rest and prepare for the holiday shows and we wish him a quick recovery. We also understand that so many of you have been looking forward to these last few shows on our tour. We don't want to let you down so we’ll be playing these last three shows without a vocalist.

Like Keith always says ’this mic is your mic’. So come and help us finish up this tour. Anyone that no longer wants to attend will be given refunds at point of purchase.”

This would be a rarity for Every Time I Die fans seeing them rock out without Buckley present. The band will be performing at The Loud in Huntington, West Virginia tonight, The Broadberry in Richmond, Virginia tomorrow (Saturday), and Elevation 27 in Virginia Beach, Virginia on Sunday.
