It took almost 2 years for Billy Talent to talk about the loss that prompted them to cancel much of their 2013 European Tour.  At the time they just weren’t ready – but they are now.

 

With the release of their new video a single, the song “Chasing the Sun” from last year’s “Hits” album, the band has revealed that the loss they experienced was the death of Trevor Solowoniuk, drummer Aaron’s brother, telling ET Canada, “Right after we got the news, there was just a kind of outpouring of emotion from everyone, and it just translated into a little guitar riff and that kind of grew and blossomed into a song. After the funeral, we were all really affected by [Trevor’s passing] and… I don’t think it was ever intended to be a song or even to be released or anything like that.”
