Nevermore guitarist Steve Smyth has been forced to pull out of the band's US tour with In Flames. This is because he's suffering from severe kidney problems, and is being temporarily replaced by Jag Panzer's Chis Broderick. This is the second medical blow to hit Nevermore, with bassist Jim Sheppard also forced to sit out the tour, due to illness. He's been replaced by James MacDonaugh.
