Black Veil Brides Tap Godsmack Drummer Wade Murff For European/UK Tour

Platinum-certified hard rock band Black Veil Brides have recruited Wade Murff (Godsmack, Daughtry, Prong, Orgy) to fill in on drums for the remainder of their ongoing European and UK tour.

The update follows news that longtime drummer Christian “CC” Coma has temporarily stepped away from the tour due to what the band described as an “unfortunate personal and private matter.”

The band confirmed the change in an official statement issued on June 6, noting adjustments had to be made following a previously announced cancellation in Milan.

“Due to an unfortunate personal and private matter, our brother Christian Coma will not be on stage with us for the remainder of the 2026 European tour. We apologize for those who have noted the already announced Milan cancellation but this is a circumstance we needed to make adjustments to handle. Our friend Wade Murff will be joining us for the remainder of the tour after Rock Am Ring and we look forward to seeing everyone at all of the subsequent shows.
CC will be rejoining the tour for leg 2 in the US, please send him love and light at this time.”

Murff, who was recently announced as Godsmack’s touring drummer, will step in beginning after Rock am Ring, with CC expected to rejoin the band for the U.S. leg of the tour.
