Bring Me The Horizon have just announced that they’ll be without Lee Malia for their Australian headline tour this month.

The band’s epic run down under – with Sleep Token, Make Them Suffer and daine – kicks off at Melbourne’s John Cain Arena today (April 10), and they have just revealed ahead of the first show that their guitarist will be absent… but for a very lovely reason!

“Lee is unable to join us for NeX GEn down under shows,” BMTH say. “He will be back for future dates, but is taking some time out with the new addition to his family for this run.”

The band will be in Australia for the next nearly two weeks; after Melbourne they’ll head to Sydney for two shows at the Qudos Bank Arena, a date at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, another at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, and finally a couple of gigs at Brisbane’s Riverstage, wrapping up on April 21.

Looking back, Oli Sykes reflects on how the Sheffield superstars are in “the best place we’ve ever been”. But first, they’ve been up to something completely bewildering…
