Bad Omens unable to perform in Tempe as Noah Sebastian battles “frustratingly persistent” infection

Following a show cancellation earlier in the month, Bad Omens have revealed that Noah Sebastian has been experiencing “constant coughing” which has “resulted in irritation and swelling”, meaning last night’s gig in Tempe also couldn’t happen.

Bad Omens have had to cancel another show on their current Concrete Forever tour.

After needing a day of “rest and recovery” while on the road earlier in the month, the band also had to pull the plug on last night’s gig in Tempe, Arizona at the Marquee Theatre (October 10). They explained that frontman Noah Sebastian has been managing an infection, “but it has been frustratingly persistent”. As such, “advice from medical professionals is that additional rest and recovery is required to prevent lasting damage”.

Read their full statement: “We are very sad that we were not able to perform tonight.

“Noah has been managing the infection that caused the Portland cancellation but it has been frustratingly persistent. The constant coughing has resulted in irritation and swelling. Sadly, the advice from medical professionals is that additional rest and recovery is required to prevent lasting damage.

“Not to mention that we’d hate to give you anything but our best.

“Thank you again for understanding – cancelling shows is the last thing we ever want to have to do.

“We will provide more information as soon as possible.”

The band took to the stage at Marquee Theatre on the night to allow Noah to explain the situation to fans – watch footage of that below.

As it stands, their current tour has the following remaining dates:

October

11 Albuquerque, N.M. @ Revel
13 Dallas, Texas @ The Factory in Deep Ellum
