Following a virus infection that forced him to miss recent dates in Toronto, ON (Canada) and Jim Thorpe, PA, Accept frontman Mark Tornillo was back on stage with the band on, Friday, October 21, in Patchogue, NY.
Jason McMaster from Dangerous Toys and Watchtower, who had filled in for Tornillo, was on stage with Accept for the October 21 show, as well as the October 22nd show in Peekskill, New York.
Fan-filmed video of the Patchogue concert can be seen below. Accept shared the following via Instagram:
"A METAL LINING INSIDE EVERY CLOUD!!
We want to thank this amazing man and musician, Jason McMaster, who stepped in last minute to sing for a few shows without a rehearsal! Not only was he brave enough to fill in for our one of kind singer Mark, he did so with utmost professionalism and legendary showmanship!
When Mark became ill, we were all concerned as to what do to, to keep the tour rolling for our US fans and family. Needless to say we worked around the clock to find a substitute who could step into this highly coveted role. Jason turned up and we have been blown away!
Though Mark came back a couple of nights ago, both him and Jason decided to share the stage making the last 2 shows an epic moment in Accept history! 2 killer front men at once!
We are happy to announce that Jason will rock the stage with us for ONE more night! We want to thank him for his heroic courage, terrific presence and artistry! Thank you JASON MCMASTER!!! We had a ball, see you around brother!!"
