Of Mice & Men Cancel Tour Due To Austin's Heath Issues was a Top 3 story on Tuesday: (Metal Hammer) Of Mice & Men have been forced to pull out of their planned Australian tour with A Day To Remember because of frontman Austin Carlile's ongoing health issues.

They were due to hit the road Down Under in December for five dates - but the band have issued a statement saying the singer still has to fully recover after his recent surgery to fix tears in his spine which came after he had life-changing heart surgery following complications from the genetic disorder, Marfans last year.

The statement reads: "Due to Austin's ongoing recovery from recent surgeries, Of Mice & Men are saddened to announce that they will no longer be able to join A Day To Remember on their Australian tour.

"The band appreciates your understanding and support of Austin's daily struggle with his chronic illness, and we want our fans to know that he is taking the time and measures needed to recover from his extensive hospital stay. We hope to see you all soon." Read more - here.
