Coleman's band mates released a statement last week addressingtheir concerns for his well being via the bands FaceBook page, itread:
"He is now AWOL and has not contacted any of his bandmates. We are deeply embarrassed by this and offer our sincereapologies to all involved. We are all concerned about our missingsinger's welfare. Killing Joke made a collective decision to playwith The Cult and The Mission in September. It was agreed by all ofthe band that we would do these shows. Indeed, we thought that theywere something to look forward to, even though they were downsized.We would still like to honour our commitment to this tour, theother bands, and all the Gatherers and people who have alreadybought tickets and made travel arrangements. If this proves notpossible, Killing Joke will make alternative arrangements tocompensate for the trouble caused. Meanwhile we are doingeverything we can to make this tour happen and locate our missingsinger.''
