(CelebrityAccess) — Coal Chamber, the California metal quarter, announced the postponement of their Fiend for the Fans tour until 2025 while the band’s frontman, Dez Fafara, recovers from a medical issue.
The tour, which features Coal Chamber, along with Fear Factory, Twizted, & Black Satellite, was originally scheduled to begin in late August but is now scheduled to hit the road in March 2025.
Fafara announced the schedule change and detailed a scary experience he had after going for a jog.
“With a heavy heart, let me tell you a story about life taking a turn, I’m writing to you from my bed. I’ve been running 6 miles daily, I’ve been rehearsing two hours daily in my home studio and excited to hit the road, I’m excited to get on a bus with my brothers and sister and my crew. I’ d never felt better and as you all know, I fought back hard after long haul Covid tried to kill me,” Fafara wrote
“Saturday morning I woke up and I was coming up my stairs. I saw flashes in my eyes. I passed out and my wife revived me. My vitals were through the roof, and I was sheet white and vomiting, and the whole world was spinning. Anahstasia called 911. I ended up in the back of an ambulance and did nine hours in the ER testing all my vitals including taking X-rays of my heart and lungs. My doctor has advised me to get a cat scan, and until further testing, I am on bedrest and must postpone the Tour. Our agent sprung into action to rebook this tour for March 2025, and until we can figure out what the fuck medically is happening,” he added.
“After hearing the shocking news of our brother, we collectively had to make some tough decisions as a family . We discussed every possible scenario and it all lead back making sure Dez’s health was the number 1 priority . In order for us to be 100% we need to take this extra time to allow him to make a full recovery so we can bring you the shows that you deserve !! We look forward to seeing you all in March 2025,” added Coal Chamber’s Mikey Cox.
