Norma Jean revealed to fans in a Facebook posting that they were the victims of a robbery on Sunday night in Chicago. The band had personal belongings and money stolen from their van, but not their equipment. On Monday the band posted the following message, "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."
Frontman Cory Brandan posted an update a short time later. He wrote, "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. Love all you guys! Still love Chicago."
