Flyleaf Drops Off Seether Tour
Flyleaf is dropping off the Seether tour. There are only five remaining shows, but still Flyleaf is not going to be there. Lacey Mosley has lost her voice. The dates affected are:
May 20 - Chicago, IL - Vic Theatre
May 21 - Covington, KY - Madison Theater
May 23 - Charlotte, NC - Foodline Speedstreet Nascar
May 25 - Cleveland, OH - Tower City Ampitheater
You will only see Seether if you have tickets to these events. The May 27 - New Orleans, LA - House of Blues show has been cancelled altogether.
Lacey posted the following on their website:
"I'm very sorry about having to cancel the last five shows of our tour with Seether. I'm trying to quit crying when I think about all the people I have let down, but I pray that there will be grace and understanding to help me through this time. After two weeks of having no voice between shows, my voice finally went out during the second song of our set we played at Nokia Theatre in Times Square. We cut six songs and I struggled to finish the set with the heavier songs that drowned out my singing anyway. Pat even came in for the screams and falsettos… haha. It was a shame that Rich had his microphone turned off. I heard people say that everything sounded great and I was thankful that no one seemed to notice how bad I was struggling. The next day we were scheduled to play in Pittsburgh, and I also had an appointment to see the vocal doctor there that morning. After seeing the damage I had done to my vocal cords already and worrying about seriously injuring myself by continuing the tour we decided to cancel. Pittsburgh was particularly difficult to cancel because it was a special show with our friends and family and we were getting to play with one of my favorite new bands, Kairos. It's interesting that the last time we had to cancel a tour 'cause my voice went out it was during a headlining run with Resident Hero and Fair To Midland and it also ended in Pittsburgh.
"With all this sad news we are actually very happy to be home to rest and write and work on a new record. The guys and I have been writing individually and after I get completely well we will get together and have a brand new Flyleaf album for you to enjoy. I hope you are just as excited as we are because the songs that we have, even at this point, are my favorite ones we've written. I love you all so much, and thank you so much for being so amazing to us. We will do our best to take better care of ourselves next time so that we wont have to cancel any more shows."
I had the distinct pleasure to see Flyleaf before they had a hit on radio at a Projeckt Revolution tour. She has trouble actually singing. I don't know too much about the art of singing, but I feel her vocals are strained and forced. It doesn't surprise me that her voice has blown out.
If you hear someone that actually can sing it is effortless. They don't work hard to hit the correct notes. She works very hard and it will continue to be a persistent problem for her.
Oh, and their live show was boring. Maybe they changed in three years. Take a listen to the band and their hit I Am So Sick and tell me if her vocals seemed strained even on a recorded track.
