British heavy metal legends Saxon will play several shows on their current European tour without bassist Nibbs Carter after he had to urgently return home to be with his family. The band explained that "due to a family emergency," Nibbs would not play six shows, starting on December 11th in Ljubljana, Slovenia and ending on December 18th in Barcelona, Spain. Filling in for him is Greek musician Kostas ''Gus'' Macricostas, who has previously played with Battleroar.

Carter is expected to rejoin Saxon on stage on December 20th in France.
