Monuments<\/a><\/strong> has sadly gone on indefinite hiatus due to guitarist and songwriter John Browne<\/strong> dealing with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Monuments<\/a><\/strong> has dropped off their upcoming tour with Leprous<\/a><\/strong> and Fight The Fight<\/a><\/strong>, and will not continue writing new music until Browne<\/strong> is doing better. We wish Browne<\/strong> all the best and hope to see Monuments<\/a><\/strong> back out there when they’re able to do so.<\/p>\n “Dear friends, fans and supporters,” wrote Monuments<\/a><\/strong>. “It\u2018s with great sadness that we must announce that we will not be able to play the upcoming US tour together with Leprous<\/a><\/strong> and Fight The Fight<\/a><\/strong>. We are also halting the songwriting process for M5 for the time being.<\/p>\n “As some of you are aware, Browne<\/strong> was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis a few years ago. To get his condition under control and in the right direction he\u2019ll be spending a bit of time to make it more comfortable to live with. For now, we\u2019ll be on indefinite hiatus until it\u2019s under control. Please keep the Monuments<\/a><\/strong> flag flying high until we return.”<\/p>\n
