Musician Steps In for Drummer Due to Travel Restrictions
A French metal band has announced that its drummer is unable to join for a series of upcoming U.S. performances due to an immigration-related issue. In his place, the band has temporarily enlisted Luigi Paraventi, a drummer known for his online presence and musical covers. The band highlighted the change with a playful reference to video games, stating, 'Player 2 has entered game. RESPECT!' and shared an image of the iconic characters Mario and Luigi from the Mushroom Kingdom. The tour begins on July 16 at Rock Fest in Wisconsin and continues through a series of summer festival shows. The band expressed disappointment over the drummer's absence, noting his efforts to resolve the issue.
