The band's Australian promoter, Frontier Touring, has issued a statement in regard to refunds:
Earlier this week it revealed that Hawkins had 10 psychoactive substances and medicines in his system at the time of his death, according to Colombian authorities. A preliminary toxicology test revealed the drummer had “THC (marijuana), tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opioids” in his system, although the volume of substances was not stated.
