***Update***
Norma Jean posted another statement and confirmed that none of their gear had been stolen. They’ve also asked for fans to support them by going to their shows, instead of asking for money. You can read what they had to say below.

Hey guys. Thanks for the support. They didn’t steal gear thankfully. We’re ok too and still alive. We still love playing Chicago and will always come back here. We didn’t play here tonight. We played in steger yesterday. The BEST WAY to help us out is by coming to a show on this tour. That’s it. We will live and our belongings and the money that was stolen can be replaced. We know that things like this happen but we love music and playing for you guys. Yes we’re really bummed out, but really looking forward to the rest of this tour. Please check the dates and come out. Live all you guys! Still love Chicago. Cory and Norma Jean.

Either I’m paying attention more than I did last year, or more and more bands are having their possessions stolen from them while they are on tour. Both are definitely possible. Norma Jean are currently headlining The Wrongdoers tour which is to support the release of their album of the same name. The band played was hanging out in Chicago last night, and have just posted on their Facebook page that their van was broken into and a number of their possessions were stolen.

Tonight we were robbed in Chicago. Someone broke into our van and stole a lot from us. Not sure what to think right now. Cleveland on Tuesday. See ya.

Considering they had who knows how much stolen from them, they seem to be handling it pretty well so far. I hope they are able to recover at least some of what was lost. We will post an update if the band has any information on what was stolen.
