3 Doors Down asked us if we could fill in for them, and we are very happy that we were able to rearrange our schedule to do the show. We apologize to our fans in Portland, but we will be back on the 22nd, and we ask for everyone's understanding. Our thoughts and prayers are with Brad, and we send our best wishes to him for a speedy and complete recovery.
