Roam opnieuw beroofd
Tijdens hun tour met Simple Plan is Roam opnieuw beroofd. Drie weken geleden werden de paspoorten van de band gestolen, dit keer is in Frankrijk het geld van de band ontvreemd, inclusief opbrengst van de merch-verkoop en het geld wat de leden in hun eigen portemonnee bij zich hadden.
De jongens sliepen in het busje waarin is ingebroken. Volgens de locale politie werd de band vergast zodat de dieven, zonder betrapt te worden, met de sloten konden rotzooien en het geld mee konden nemen.
“Guys. We woke up yesterday morning in France to find out we’d been robbed…again! This time, from our van while we slept inside. Police think we were gassed so we were essentially knocked out so they could fiddle the lock and get inside.
They took all our cash; show fees, merch money and personal money, but fortunately didn’t steal anything else. But it’s still a huge blow, especially after finding out that our passports had been stolen just 3 weeks ago, 2 days before we were due to fly to Japan, costing us £3000 to replace, change flights and get replacement US working VISAs for Warped this summer.”
Via Facebook en Twitter heeft de band diverse updates geplaatst. Zo geven de jongens aan geld in te zamelen via de online merch verkoop. In januari verscheen Roam’s album Backbone.
