The members of Sum 41 are beyond thrilled to perform on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Singer Deryck Whibley states, “This is a huge life goal of mine. The idea of performing on Colbert played a huge part of my recovery process in motivating me to stay on track and get better. My motor skills were completely messed up. I used to say to myself that I need to get better and release a good record, and I HAVE to play Colbert, and now it’s happening and I couldn’t be happier. I’m such a huge fan of his.”

The band recently released a single and music video for their singe, “War,”

The first track released from 13 Voices received critical praise for the bands triumphant return in over 5 years. The standout song “Fake My Own Death” currently has over 4.3 million views on the video. The ten-track album follows 2011’s Screaming Bloody Murder, which featured the Grammy Nominated song “Blood In My Eyes.

Whibley began writing for 13 Voices immediately following his four-month stint in the hospital.

Whibley states;

“I had to learn how to do everything again-my motor skills, learning how to play guitar again… I couldn’t even walk at the time. It was really difficult, but at the same time if I didn’t have a record to make, I don’t think I would have recovered as quickly, or even at all. Writing music gave me a purpose.”

The Sum 41 fans have been coming out in overwhelming numbers to the recent live shows, with the band playing to some of the biggest crowds of their career.
