MONTREAL (CelebrityAccess) — Norwegian black metal pioneers Mayhem announced the cancellation of the U.S. leg of their 40th anniversary tour due to a medical emergency.
“MAYHEM regrets to inform fans that the upcoming 40th anniversary performances in North America are cancelled due to a member of the band having a medical emergency that requires immediate surgery, which will result in a prolonged recovery period. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.
Fret not, American and Canadian legion, as Mayhem will have something coming up next year that will make this up to those of you who have been disappointed by this news,” the band said in a statement on social media.
Mayhem’s U.S. run was set to begin on November 12th at the Olympia in Montreal, with additional shows planned for Toronto, New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles before wrapping at the Ogden Theater in Denver on November 23rd.
