The Boxer Rebellion in NYC (Paul Bachmann / Live4ever)
A personal, deeply thought-out theme runs through the two recent Boxer Rebellion singles, and it’ll be on display in the UK early next year when the band return for four live shows.
Gigs in Leeds, Bristol, Manchester and London have been confirmed after frontman Nathan Nicholson detailed the tragedy behind the most recent of those single, Love Yourself.
“Like many of us, I, too, have suffered from loss on a deeply personal level. When I was 18 my mom passed away under very sudden and sad circumstances, and six years ago my wife and I were devastated to have lost our unborn child at just over 20 weeks,” a statement on NME began.
“More recently, back home in Tennessee, my father died quite unexpectedly, leaving a void in my life that is still painfully difficult to comprehend and come to terms with.”
