“It felt like we were meant to be doing it, and yeah, there have been a lot of ups and downs along the way and we realize from this little run that maybe the world isn’t quite ready for all of this. “We’re in a band because we do like traveling and playing for our fans,” Thatcher continued. Kerr has since fully recovered and the band was able to make up the rescheduled tour dates and are now heading out on the North American leg of the tour, which comes to The Novo at LA Live in Los Angles May 5, House of Blues Anaheim May 7 and Observatory North Park in San Diego May 8. “It’s been great to come back to work and be in our natural habitat again,” drummer Ben Thatcher said during a Zoom interview from his home in Brighton, England while Kerr was at his home in quarantine. Then they rescheduled dates in the UK and Dublin following a sold-out show at London’s O2 Arena due to bassist-vocalist Mike Kerr testing positive for COVID-19 and losing his voice. However, Royal Blood was forced to cancel a stop in Paris due to a trucker protest. Returning to the road after being stuck at home for nearly two years, the duo played a few successful gigs without incident. With a new album to play live, English rock band Royal Blood was ready to go when it launched its tour in the United Kingdom earlier this year.
