RK Update
From www.relientk.com…
Dear RK fans,
Due to circumstances beyond any of our control, Matthew Thiessen needed to
leave the Winter Wonder Slam last evening on a red eye flight to Canton. It
is with great sadness to report that Matt’s mother suffered a severe heart
attack Monday evening. Matt flew home to be with his family and at his
mother’s side as she undergoes quadruple bypass surgery. We truly
appreciate your understanding and prayers during this highly emotional time.
In an effort to make most of this situation, the remaining members of
Relient K (Ethan, John and Jon) will stay out for the last four (4) shows
and play host to Tim Skipper of House of Heroes as they put together a
medley of Holiday music and fan favorites. As an effort to make the shows
special, we will host a contest to have a fan club member join the guys on
stage to perform ‘Sadie Hawkins Dance’!
Again, we thank you for your prayers and wish you joy in your hearts during
the Christmas season.
Best,
Kevin Spellman
Vector Management

I’m really sorry. That is really awful.
Ethan, if you read this, please send my love and prayers to Matt and his family.
You, Jon, and John rock for finishing out the tour.
I’ll be praying!
