Earlier today Exodus’s guitarist Gary Holt went on social media to post the following statement: “In case people were wondering where our brother Jack Gibson was last night, he had to leave the tour for a family emergency, family first.”
The post continues with: “We have his back all ways and always. So last night as well as the remaining three shows the low end is being handled by our brother @theriffdojo , who has been studying like a madman these last few days to learn the set. He did a killer job last night and it’ll be heavy as fuck , like always There’s no replacing Jack, he’s one of one. But for the remainder he is where he needs to be. Our thoughts and hearts are with our brother now. Send your positive vibes his way”.
