In a statement posted to Instagram this morning (May 28), The Strokes announced their set at Boston Calling tonight (May 28) and their show in support of congressional candidate Kina Collins on Monday (May 30) would be affected.
Trent Reznor and co. performed a 21-song set at the Boston festival last night (May 27), appearing in place of Foo Fighters following the death of their drummer, Taylor Hawkins.
“We’re very sorry for the conditions that led to us being here. With our friends Foo Fighters, our hearts go out to them,” Reznor told the crowd at Harvard Athletic Complex before performing ‘Even Deeper’.
Revealing that NIN would be back as headliners the following night, he added: “I was sitting backstage, and I was started to freak myself out. We’re not even supposed to be here tonight, and I don’t know if you’ve heard but we’re here tomorrow night.”
