Porcupine Tree live guitarist Randy McStine has hit back at fans, calling them "pathetic" and "shameful", following a barrage of complaints in the wake of the news that bassist Nate Navarro was forced to return home from the band's current run of outdoor dates throughout Europe due to "a serious family crisis."
Porcupine Tree initially announced, when breaking the news about Navarro; "Rest assured that all our Summer shows will go ahead as planned! Through the magic of technology Nate’s bass will continue to be heard at the shows even if you can’t see him. We hope this won’t spoil your enjoyment of the PT live experience.
