Christian ‘CC’ Coma to miss Black Veil Brides’ remaining UK and Europe shows including Download

Black Veil Brides have confirmed that drummer Christian ‘CC’ Coma is dropping off their remaining UK and European tour dates.

In a statement, the band write that CC has had to leave the tour due to an “unfortunate personal and private matter”, which also means he’ll be missing Download this weekend. BVB had to cancel a show in Milan in order to make adjustments for the rest of the tour, which will see Godsmack's Wade Murff step in on the drums.

“Due to an unfortunate personal and private matter, our brother @ceesespieces will not be on stage with us for the remainder of the 2026 European tour,” they say. ”We apologize for those who have noted the already announced Milan cancellation but this is a circumstance we needed to make adjustments to handle. Our friend @wade_murff will be joining us for the remainder of the tour after Rock Am Ring and we look forward to seeing everyone at all of the subsequent shows.

“CC will be rejoining the tour for leg 2 in the US, please send him love and light at this time,”
