Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter won’t be traveling with the band in Europe next month. 

Carpenter posted a video on social media saying, “As much as I would love to be on the road with my brothers, playing for all of our incredible international fans, I have decided to remain playing domestically for now.”

He went on to explain, “With everything going on in the world, I’m just not ready to leave home and leave the country yet. I wish I can see each and every one of you, but for now, our good friend from Sacramento, Lance, will be fulfilling my duties. Although I’m watching from afar, I’ll be there in spirit with my Deftones family.” 

Why do you think Carpenter doesn’t want to travel?
