The Amity Affliction Frontman Hospitalised In US

Joel Birch, frontman of Aussie post-hardcore band The Amity Affliction, has spent the night in a Pittsburgh hospital, the band's management have confirmed to theMusic.com.au

Travelling with the Warped Tour, management said that they hoped Birch would be playing again by tomorrow for the tour's Detroit show.

They had pulled out of their Pittsburgh show, while Architects Sam Carter and Letlive's Jason Aalon Butler filled in for Cleveland.

On Facebook the band posted, “It will be a bit like Amity karaoke so you'll have to scream along with them! We hope to have Joel back for Detroit! Once again sorry to everyone who missed seeing us [yesterday]. Promise we will come back to Pittsburgh soon!”
