Epica bassist Rob Van der Loo sitting out European tour due to health issues

Epica, a Dutch symphonic metal band, has kicked off their European tour to support their new studio album, Requiem for the Indifferent. However, the band’s new bassist, Rob Van der Loo, is reportedly missing out the tour due to health issues.

The bassists released a statement that explained his absence from the tour.

“Yesterday I’ve experienced some serious and unexpected health issues. To make sure I can be treated correctly, I have to run a couple of tests at the hospital, and my doctors also advised me to take some rest before going on full power again. Though this
is hard for me to accept, it’s also something which I have to respect since health is a very precious thing”

“This does mean that I won’t be able to be on the [EPICA] European tour until all examinations are done (hopefully within the next couple of days). Of course I will join the band as soon as possible, but unfortunately I can’t give an exact date as of yet.
I wish the rest of the band and crew all the best for the start of the tour and I really can’t wait to join!”
