\"\"At the Nottingham date of the Pure Noise<\/b> UK tour last night, Hit The Lights<\/b> pulled out of the show due to vocalist Nick Thompson suffering from a infection caused from flying from Japan to the UK for the tour. <\/figure>\n

As a result of the infection, Thompson has dropped off the tour. However Ben Phillips from Fastlane<\/b> will be filling in on the remaining dates of the tour.<\/p>\n

Nick Thompson and Hit The Lights<\/b> made the following comment:<\/p>\n

“Hey everyone, it\u2019s Nick. Tonight we had to cancel our show last minute in Nottingham due to illness. I caught some type of bug on the plane from Japan to the UK. While I got over my fever\/aches over the past few days I\u2019ve developed a chest infection that I just can\u2019t seem to shake. Today in Nottingham I felt worse than ever, I couldn\u2019t hit easiest notes and I began coughing up some not-so-fun stuff, including a little blood. We made a last second decision to call the show off, and we\u2019d like to apologize to all the people who were looking forward to seeing us, the promoter, and of course, all the bands we\u2019re currently on tour with. I\u2019ve never had to do this before, but at this point I need to seek medical attention so the entire tour isn\u2019t lost. I\u2019ll be taking a small sabbatical to recover and our very good friend Ben Phillips will be taking over vocal duties for Hit The Lights for the next couple shows. Ben sang in a band that HTL has grown up loving called \u201cFastlane\u201d and is more than capable of handling my vocal duties. We\u2019ll keep everyone up to date on my situation, again, my deepest apologies, I hate to let anyone down. I\u2019ll be returning to the mic as soon as I can, please come out to the shows and show your support for us, Light You Up, Forever Came Calling and Four Year Strong – they still bring more rock than you will ever need in one night.
\nLove,
\nNick & HTL”<\/i><\/p>\n
