COHEED AND CAMBRIA: Coheed and Cambria Bassist Arrested Before Gig
New York based Emo/hard rock band COHEED AND CAMBRIA are scheduled for a "homecoming" gig tomorrow night at THE CHANCE in Poughkeepsie, NY as the show is sold out.
However, there is one problem, COHEED AND CAMBRIA bassist Michael Todd has been arrested for armed robbery in Massachusetts. COHEED AND CAMBRIA announced that bassist Wes Styles will fill in for Michael Todd. Todd previously left COHEED AND CAMBRIA in 2006 in order to seek treatment for heroin addiction. After a stint in rehab, he returned to the group in 2007.
FROM THE CHANCE THEATER POUGHKEEPSIE, NY: Tomorrow's show is SOLD OUT.. Doors will open at 7pm. There is one opener and then Coheed. Thank you for another Sold out show. Wow show will go on.. Now this is reality tv.. Tonights show is on.. Doors are 7pm and show is Sold Out. See you there.

FROM TMZ: http://www.tmz.com/2011/07/10/coheed-and-cambria-bassist-michael-todd-armed-robbery-walgreens/
FROM COHEED AND CAMBRIA: Michael Todd was arrested today on what we consider very serious charges and therefore he will not be finishing up the current tour. Wes Styles, long time member of the Coheed family will take on bass duties starting tomorrow for the remaining dates. No shows will be canceled.
We are surprised to say the least and will address the situation with Michael after the tour. For now, we just want to have a great time out here and finish with some killer shows in Boston, Poughkeepsie, Quebec City and Halifax.
