It has barely been a few hours since we announced Phil is unable to play this evening due to food poisoning and dehydration …
Last night just a few hours before the show , our Herculean drummer Christopher Williams was down with the same illness .
He was an utter trooper and came to the venue wanting to get on stage. Nonetheless medics have advised him to rest and recuperate to prevent his condition from getting worse.
We are doing our utmost to aid him in his recovery.
Thankfully , our outstanding drum technician , Daniel Douchette, who knows every Accept song , was brave enough to stand in for Christopher tonight!
The crowd were incredible , supportive and certainly didn’t get deterred from some high class Headbanging, creating circle pits and singing along to ever Accept Anthem!
Get well Christopher Williams and Thankyou Daniel Douchette!
The Metal must go on!
Accept guitarist Phil Shouse collapsed on the plane at Lima Peru, and won’t be able to join the band stage tonight in Santiago, Chile.
Meanwhile, the rest of Accept will march on and deliver a killer show tonight nevertheless.
A Heavy Metal star studded plane ,carrying Accept, Kreator and Testament had to delay their departure from Lima when Accept guitarist Phil Shouse collapsed prior to take-off due to food poisoning and dehydration.
Yesterday Phil was travelling from Ecuador to Chile, accompanied by a plethora of high calibre Metal Bands, who were all playing at The Metal Fests across Latin America.
However he suddenly collapsed and had to be taken off the plane by medical personnel.
He is on IV drips and will take a few days to rest before joining the Metal Masters again.
We wish him the speediest of recoveries and look forward to him joining us the second he feels healthy !!
