Avenged Sevenfold will return in 2020, no tour for 2019

Radio host Lou Brutus posted on Instagram that he was texting with Zacky Vengeance and got an update on the band's current plans. "Was just texting with Zacky Vengeance and asked him about Avenged Sevenfold touring. He told me, 'I don't think we will be doing any touring this year. Got some new babies on the way and are starting to get really focused on new material. I never deal in absolutes, but right now it's leaning heavily towards 2020.' While I'm bummed about no touring for awhile, I'm very happy for their family additions and eventual new music. Excelsior," stated Brutus.
