Yesterday an accident occurred that injured over 40 people. Please be praying for those people and their quick recovery! Below I've gathered as much information on the events leading up to the accident, and the results of the accident.
2:27pm Friday, Apr 25 Starfield sent out a Facebook update saying:
2:27pm Friday, Apr 25
Not much time
to type right now, but wanted to get a quick message in. We had an
amazing kick-off to the tour last night in Victoria. Thanks so much to
all who came out. We'll post video soon of some of the night - lots of
new stuff we've never had before as far as lighting and video is
concerned.Just learned that tonight's show in our home of
Abbotsford is sold out, as is tomorrow night in Burnaby. That's great
news and bad news, I suppose, depending on whether or not you have a
ticket.
Looking ahead to next week for those of you in Red
Deer, Edmonton, and Calgary - there are still tickets available but
it's reasonable to think they'll sell out as well. You can still get
the tickets for $16.95 as opposed to $20 at the door, assuming tickets
will be available at the door.
To all the rest of you outside of
Canada - we'll get videos and such up soon so you can share in what's
going on. Bethany Dillon and the Shanes and Nasser all did amazing last
night. Can't tell you how much fun we're having.
And on to soundcheck....
