For bassist Jason Cone McCaslin, and the rest of the band, this isn't just about closing a door—it's about celebrating a journey full of incredible highs and some tough lows, all while giving fans one last hurrah. It's emotional, McCaslin shares during a recent phone call. Every show is basically the last time we'll ever play in that city or even that country, so we don't take it lightly. We do our best to make sure we play the songs fans want to hear.
The tour thus far hasn't been without its challenges. Last year, frontman Deryck Whibley was hospitalized when a nasty case of COVID-19 turned into pneumonia. In August, Sum 41 was forced to cancel several dates due to Whibley sustaining a back injury. While the band picked back up this month, the recent health scares pile onto a long list of Whibley's battles over the years, including two herniated discs from a 2010 injury he sustained while on tour in Tokyo in 2010.
Whibley's personal journey has been filled with both high-profile romances and deep struggles. He was famously linked to Paris Hilton in the early 2000s, during the height of both of their careers when late-night Los Angeles partying and paparazzi culture was at its peak.
