Walk Off The Earth will not be playing during tonight's New Years Eve celebrations in Niagara Falls as the band marks the passing of one of their own.
Last night officials for Walk Off The Earth announced band member Mike 'Beard Guy' Taylor passed away in his sleep from natural causes. He leaves behind two children.
Bassist for Billy Talent Jonathan Gallant also took to Twitter to share his memories of Taylor, saying, "Gutted to hear about this. Mike Taylor was a great guy and a hockey brother. In the dressing room he talked most about his kids and always added a thoughtful kind approach to any conversation. RIP buddy."
Representatives for the band say tonight's performance has been cancelled as they mourn the loss.
However, the other bands scheduled to hit the stage in Niagara Falls tonight, including Burton Cummings and The Sheepdogs, will still be performing as planned.
