Read the full note from Jacob:

Dear SOJA Family

I am writing to let you know that I am taking a break from the road to rest and take care of my health. My heart is heavy to miss these shows. But fear not, my brothers Trevor Young and Bobby Lee are going to be holding it down on lead vocals for the rest of our shows this year. And I will be back with the boys in 2026 with our new album, Without Surrender.

I love you all, eternally. Take good care of each other. I will see you all soon.

-Jacob
