MUDVAYNE guitarist Greg Tribbett won’t be shredding on stage for their “L.D. 50 25th Anniversary” tour after his wife, Debbie, sadly lost her battle with cancer. Yeah, life’s a real gutter sometimes.
Earlier today (Thursday, September 11), the band hit up social media with: “Tour starts today! We are going to miss our brother Greg on this tour, sending him and his family all the love.” Straight-up classy, but you know the pit’s gonna feel a little emptier without him.
The nostalgia-heavy trek kicks off tonight in Dubuque, Iowa (because where ELSE do you start a metal tour?) and wraps up October 26 in Uncasville, Connecticut. STATIC-X and VENDED will be tagging along—because who doesn’t love a chaotic family reunion?
