Knocked Loose’s current European run opening for Metallica has already been their biggest look yet, and it’s somehow turned into a “can you make it one more day” tour diary in real time.
As seen in the first episode of the band’s new web series documenting the trek, vocalist Bryan Garris was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy just two days into the run after experiencing numbness in the left side of his face and tongue. He wound up in an ER in Sofia, Bulgaria, was advised to rest, and instead opted to push through with treatment that included steroids and acupuncture.
Now, guitarist/vocalist Isaac Hale has revealed he was hit by a car during the same tour. Hale shared an update yesterday, Saturday, May 29th and, much like Garris, appears intent on continuing.
Despite the piling setbacks, the band have yet to miss a show, powering through their latest Germany dates.
Hale shared the following via social media:
Tour update got hit by a car yesterday felt bad but got this boba after and it was really good
