BLACK LABEL SOCIETY Announce Tour Drummer


Black Label Society Zakk Wylde and his band Black Label Society have inducted a new touring member. Breaking Benjamin drummer Chad Szeliga will be filling in behind the kit on their upcoming tour run with Judas Priest.

With Breaking Benjamin's future a bit uncertain after main man Benjamin Burnley allegedly firing the rest of the band in an email, it looks like Szeliga might have some time on his hands so what better way to spend the fall than out on the road with one of rock’s greatest guitar players of all time!

Szeliga took to his Facebook page to thank his fans personally and share his gratitude, "Hey friends and fans, did you hear the good news? I am touring in October with Black Label Society. I am so thankful for you guys, you keep me going. God Bless you and I’ll see you out there!!"
