Avenged Sevenfold Not Attending 2018 Grammy’s In Protest

Despite being nominated for Best Rock Song for the 2018 Grammy Awards, Avenged Sevenfold have revealed they’re going to skip on their attendance in protest of the ceremony.

The reason? They have concerns with how they handle their coverage of the Rock and Metal categories, as their award will not be televised meaning the categories don’t get the same promotion and celebration as many other celebrated genres of music.

Twenty One Pilots Post Message To Fans.

Twenty On Pilots seem they’re on top of the world at the moment, but they never forget to thank the people important to them: the fans.

At a recent show, Tyler said this to the crowd.

“I feel like it was you who did this. Did you know that you guys, it’s because of you, because you could not go unnoticed, you guys won us a Grammy. Thank you so much.”

“It’s cool because we took a day off of tour, we went and did that weird whole thing, and here we are back. Y’know what? You guys make this feel like home for us. Right here is where we belong and it’s where we’ll stay. We’ll keep playing live music as long as you wanna keep on coming and watching us play.”
