DC TALK CANCELS TOUR
October 8, 2001
Nashville, TN - dc Talk will postpone their planned "Solo" tour until 2002. After much prayer and pastoral counsel the group has made the decision to postpone their tour as Kevin Max has requested time off the road to attend to personal matters.
"It was not an easy choice," says Toby McKeehan. "We deeply regret how this postponement will affect both the promoters and our fans."
Kevin states, "I believe I have needed this time away from touring and the business for quite some time. The process of being an island unto myself and the author of my own desires took the place of my most prized relationships. I have come to realize that my character is more important than my career as a performer. I am with much prayer and counsel, putting those relationships back to the forefront of my existence. My personal walk with Jesus Christ (my first love and personal savior) and my wife matter more to me. I sincerely appreciate Michael and Toby standing beside me at this time."
Max has often been rumored as the catalyst for the supposed "break-up" of dc Talk that emerged last year, which quickly turned into a united solo effort from band members after quiet damage control. Max has long been known to be the so-called rebel of the group often making light and compromising the groups image.
"While this has been tough, it is exciting to me that God continues to pursue and encourage us to be climbers and not campers. Staying stagnant is not an option," said Michael Tait.
dc talk is currently in the process of rescheduling as many of the dates as possible in January and February of 2002.
