Discharge banned from Canada and perform final show
UK punk legends DISCHARGE have been banned from Canada!
The band, underway on their headlining North American tour, performed their final Canadian show in Vancouver as both frontman JJ and lead guitarist Bones were detained upon entering the country. In a statement via Facebook JJ says, “well… I’m permanently banned from Canada. Criminal charges from 20 years ago. However they let me in to play the show for a “low” cost of $200 as long as I leave the country after we play. Bones made it in by the skin of his teeth… Tezz / Rainy not allowed back in the USA. Karl Morris ‘Egghead’ from THE EXPLOITED, UK SUBS etc. will be filling in on bass for us. Doesn’t look like DISCHARGE will ever be allowed back in Canada… so looks like tonight will be our last Canadian show. All USA shows still on… see ya soon!”
The remaining US tour dates are going ahead as planned but guitarist Tezz and bassist Rainy are permanently banned from entering the USA therefore they are not playing on the tour.
