The Amity Affliction have announced that drummer Ryan Burt will be leaving the band’s current European and U.K. tour.

In a statement, the band says Burt's mental health always comes first, saying, “Ryan has recently been battling some ongoing mental demons, and as a group of friends who have had to deal with mental health issues in one way or another, all four of us knew that the best course of action was for him to take the time to go home and get some professional support.”

The band continues by sharing just how important it is to seek help regarding mental health, emphasizing most importantly that you are never alone. “If you need someone to talk to regarding mental health, please don’t hesitate to seek help from someone who is properly trained and qualified.”

Casey McHale will be filling in on drums to finish out the rest of tour. Read the statement in full below.

“We are sad to announce that Ryan will not be performing on any further shows on the This Could Be Heartbreak UK / European headline tour.

Ryan has recently been battling some ongoing mental demons, and as a group of friends who have had to deal with mental health issues in one way or another, all four of us knew that the best course of action was for him to take the time to go home and get some professional support. It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but it is the right one. Our priority at this point is Ryan’s health, and that will always come first.

The shows themselves will all continue as planned, with Casey McHale filling in on drums. He’s an amazing musician and a great friend of both Ryan and the band, and we know we can rely on him to deliver the show you all deserve to see.

We ask that everyone respect Ryan’s privacy while he’s getting better.

If you need someone to talk to regarding mental health, please don’t hesitate to seek help from someone who is properly trained and qualified. “

Last month, Real Friends’ Dan Lambton bravely shared a message regarding his mental health after postponing their European and U.K. tour. “I need to be present, sharp, and focused, and at this point I feel that as great as this tour could be it would have an extreme emotional and mental toll on my well-being.”
