REECE SCRUGGS To Miss MACHINE HEAD's Summer 2025 European Tour

Earlier today, MACHINE HEAD released the following statement via social media: "It is with heavy hearts that MACHINE HEAD must announce that our bandmate and brother Reece Scruggs will not be with us on our upcoming European / UK festival and headline run. His family at home needs him and we want him to be there with them."

Reece, who previously played with HAVOK, said in a statement: "With the support and understanding of Robb, the band, and management I've chosen to get off the road and step away for a while to be with my family.

"To be transparent, my father was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. I've sacrificed a lot in pursuit of my music career over the years. When I received this news I knew I had to make a sacrifice in favor of my family.

MACHINE HEAD added: "Reece has our absolute support and we know full well that the Head Cases around the world share our sentiments. We ask that both fans, peers, and media please respect his privacy during this challenging time.

"Joining us to fill in this massive void for the lion’s share of the upcoming shows will be good friend (and former bandmate),'Vogg' Wacław Kiełtyka, alongside long-time producer, collaborator, and DARKNESS EVERYWHERE member Zack Ohren on select dates where/when Vogg's band DECAPITATED is already scheduled to perform."
