Howard Jones forced to leave KILLSWITCH ENGAGE tour

Posted on February 10, 2010

Howard Jones has had to leave the current Killswitch Engage tour with Dark Tranquility and The Devil Wears Prada due to what the band is calling "unforeseen circumstances." All That Remains frontman Phil LeBonte will be filling in for Jones.

While the band hasn't specifically stated why Jones left the tour, LeBonte hinted Jones is sick via tweet:

Yep, I'm singing for KsE until HoJo gets better. Not sure how long it'll be but I'm here till they don't need me anymore.

Ironically, it was "HoJo" that beat out Phil LeBonte for the vocalist spot in Killswitch Engage, when Jesse Leach decided to quit the band. Some low-res footage has surfaced of LeBonte performing with the band on Youtube:
