SPINESHANK Rejoined On UK Tour By Vocalist Jonny Santos

After being sidelined by a passport issue that forced him to miss the first few dates of Spineshank’s UK tour, vocalist Jonny Santos has officially rejoined the band on the road. The industrial nü-metal outfit had temporarily brought in James Mills of Hostage to fill in during the setback, a move that kept the tour running smoothly until Santos could make it overseas.

The band confirmed the reunion earlier today, November 9th, sharing on social media:

“Everyone show some major love to @jayhostileuk — this guy came through and literally saved our tour while Jonny was making his way over. He had less than two days to learn an entire album, and still managed to exceed every single expectation. Every night he absolutely crushed it on stage. An incredible performer, and an even better human being. You’re forever part of this family now. We love you James.”

Santos managed to make it back just in time for the band’s November 8th show in Norwich, UK, even joining Mills onstage after driving straight from the airport to the venue. Fan-filmed footage of the moment has since surfaced online.
