"We are heartbroken to announce we have to cancel our upcoming European tour," Lord Buffalo revealed. "Our drummer, Yamal Said, who is a Mexican citizen and lawful permanent resident of the United States (green card holder) was forcibly removed from our flight to Europe by Customs and Border Patrol at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Monday, May 12."
The band continued, "He has not been released, and we have been unable to contact him. We are currently working with an immigration lawyer to find out more information and to attempt to secure his release."
Additionally, Lord Buffalo's band members—Daniel Pruitt, Garrett Hellman and Patrick Patterson—noted that they hope the situation is a "temporary setback" and that they might ultimately reschedule the tour.
"In our absence, our touring partners @orsakoslo will continue to perform the tour," they added. "We urge everyone to go see this amazing band and support them over the next couple weeks."
