Seattle, WA…July 23, 2009…Tooth & Nail Records’ Thousand Foot Krutch sadly announces that they will not be performing at Creation Northwest this Friday due to frontman Trevor McNevan’s emergency surgery late yesterday evening. McNevan was taken to the emergency room for appendicitis, which resulted in an routine appendectomy around 8 p.m..  The band issued this statement about their unfortunate cancellation of their Creation appearance.

“We are saddened that we’re not able to rock out with our fans at the beautiful Gorge Amphitheater.  One of the highlights of festival season is Creation Northwest and the fans that come out to support us and all the amazing artists.  However, right now Trevor needs to rest and recover.   We would appreciate prayers for Trevor and Erin as he heals.”  Thousand Foot Krutch

Creation Festival issued this statement:
 “Thousand Foot Krutch guarantees for an amazing show and they are a festival favorite, so we are saddened to hear they won’t make it this year to Creation Northwest.  We are praying for Trevor and his wife, Erin.  We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to having him and the guys out on tour this fall.”  Nick Kulb (Creation Festival)
