According to recent twitter updates, Alaskan group Portugal. The Man has befallen a series of misfortunes, while touring in Europe.
Most recently, it appears they were robbed.
The band tweeted on Dec. 6:
No matter how well things are going there are trials: Van was broken into. Guitars, bass, keyboards, cash, GPS, passport. Gone.
and
There is nothing we can really do here but pack up what we got and keep moving. Contacting police about passport. Thank you for the support
and
Saddest part of all of this is just the band history that was lost from the British Airways mess to this.
But during it all, they kept a positive attitude and thanked their Madrid fans, looked at the brightside, that is was after a final show and even joked:
Is “burgled” really a word? Were we just burgled? …making me hungry. Going to collect the band and sit down for food. Stop the stress.
Portugal. The Man even said that this was a small matter and they are still concerned over the disappearance over one of their fans.
Much much more important than all of this is the disappearance of Devon Hollohan. Please help in anyway you can.
A few days ago, a fan went missing after seeing and hanging out with the band in Germany. 22-year-old Devon Hollahan went missing Saturday, Nov. 21 in Frankfurt. Hollahan’s father contacted the band after learning of his son’s disappearance. The band has posted several posts about how you can help.
PTM fans around the world please help if you can, if you have any information please contact the father direct. Devon Hollahan came to our show in Frankfurt on Saturday. We met him and hung out with him. He is a good guy, just like you and I, and his family needs our help. We love you all and hope you can help.
You can read the letter from the father here. If you are able to help or provide any information, contact Devon’s family here.
