FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH Cancels Arizona Bike Week Performance Citing ‘Family Matter’

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH has canceled its performance at Arizona Bike Week next month due to a “family matter,” as stated in a post on the event’s Facebook page. Marilyn Manson will step in as their replacement for the April 5 show.

Arizona Bike Week producer Lisa Cyr told Arizona Republic: “It’s been a little crazy, obviously. A lot of scrambling. But we’re pretty excited with the way it all turned out. Marilyn Manson, I hear that his last few tours have been just incredible.”

“We sent out an email to all of our Saturday ticket holders instructing them on how to request a refund, and we haven’t had a ton of requests,” she continued. “A few people, but a lot of people are just as excited about Marilyn Manson. But yeah, we are giving full refunds to those who request them.

“Our tickets are just like everybody else’s,” she added. “The terms are ‘no refunds’ and ‘subject to artist change,’ but we’re not gonna enforce that in this case. We want our customers to be happy and to get what they paid for. So we are honoring refunds for people who request them.”

This past September, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH‘s Mexico City appearance, supporting METALLICA, was cancelled after Ivan Moody suffered a rib fracture during their performance at the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Kentucky.
