MESHUGGAH's Jens Kidman Sick As A Dog; Band To Perform Without Him Tonight In Atlanta, GA!

Yesterday (February 11), Sweden's MESHUGGAH ignited the second leg of the "Ophidian Trek" at the Beacham Theatre in Orlando, Florida. 

The tour continues tonight at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia. Apparently, a rumor surfaced that the band will not be performing tonight. Well, the band has made it very clear via a Tweet that they WILL perform tonight despite the bands vocalist Jens Kidman being very sick at the moment.

Jens is sick tonight. Despite every possible effort. We WILL play. Jens will hopefully be back tomorrow. That means:Bring your growl Atlanta

UPDATE from MESHUGGAH: "Jens is down with the flu. And this flu means business. He has been forbidden to even speak. He's mute for now. WE WILL PLAY ANYWAY. So memorize the lyrics and bring your very best growl Atlanta. You will all be Jens tonight!! Lets make this happen! We hope he's back tomorrow,or it'll be vocal-duties Charlotte!"

This means that the band will be performing without their singer! MESHUGGAH instrumental??? Crazy!
