Touring and recording constantly. It’s an endless cycle that, minus an extensive break or two, can sap the energy of any musician. This is even true for larger bands who may not have to worry about money, as there’s still added pressure to perform for thousands of people. Unfortunately, it looks like Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oliver Sykes has fallen victim to either this or other maladies, as a recent Instagram post has revealed. Recently having finished their headlining American Nightmare Tour with Underoath and Beartooth supporting as well, it’s quite possible that the band may not be touring for a while. It has, after all, been a whirlwind tour cycle for the band – 2015’s That’s The Spirit catapulted the band into arena act status, which is all the more astonishing considering the genre the band originally played in. Hopefully Oliver is alright – it’s proof that no musician is immune to the uniquely rewarding but exhausting lifestyle musicians lead.
