Symphony X Singer Russell Allen Injured During Trans-Siberian Orchestra Rehearsal
During a rehearsal with Trans-Siberian Orchestra, vocalist Russell Allen was injured after he slipped and fell, according to an update from the symphonic metal group. Allen, one of many singers in TSO, is also lead vocalist for progressive rockers Symphony X and metal supergroup Adrenaline Mob.
Apprising fans of the situation on Monday (Nov. 11), Trans-Siberian Orchestra explained that Allen is experiencing some pain from the injury but remains otherwise cheerful. However, the statement leaves unclear if the vocalist will be able to tour with the band this fall and winter. Read the group's update down toward the bottom of this post.
"We are here in the midwest preparing to give you one of the most exciting TSO productions you have ever seen," the statement reads. "During rehearsal, Russell Allen slipped and fell. Russell is in good spirits but in a bit of pain. We are doing everything necessary to assure Russell is taken care of. We hope he is able to make it out on the road in the near future but our concern is that he rests so he can make a full recovery."
In August, Trans-Siberian Orchestra announced their annual run of late-year tour dates. The 2019 spate of shows is set to kick off Wednesday (Nov. 13) with a pair of performances at Green Bay, Wisconsin's Resch Center. The tour continues throughout the U.S. until the end of the year.
In 2018, TSO celebrated their 20th year as a touring act. That same year, Allen paid tribute to late Adrenaline Mob bandmate David Zablidowsky ("David Z"), whom he was alongside in the roadside collision that took the bassist's life.
