Swedish Melo-Death powerhouse In Flames have announced their touring line up containing a second session guitarist for their upcoming headlining North American tour with Lacuna Coil, The Sword and Seemless. The band has posted the following message on their official website:
"For the upcoming US-tour Björn will be sitting out as his wife is due to give birth to their second child. Substituting on guitar will be our good friend Henrik Danhage from Evergrey.
As previously reported: Jesper is taking the rest of the year off due to personal reasons, on which he will comment later on, and Niklas Engelin (Engel/Passenger) is filling in for him until Dec 20:th.
We´ve all heard the speculations and rumours and we want to put a stop to it here and now: NO, In Flames are not breaking up! NO, Jesper or Björn are NOT quitting the band!
We simply didn´t want to disappoint anyone so all shows that were booked prior to these circumstances will be done with the above named session guitarists. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope that you will understand and support us.
New shows/tours are being booked for next year as we speak, featuring the 5 of us (Anders, Björn, Peter, Daniel & Jesper).
So stop worrying/speculating/gossiping and we´ll see you all very soon.
Cheers
Anders, Björn, Peter, Daniel & Jesper"
