Slipknot Announce Rescheduled Dates Due To Corey's Broken Neck

The band was supposed to kick off the tour with Marilyn Manson tomorrow night (June 9th) but were forced to push back the launch after Taylor discovered that he had broken his neck and needed surgery.

Taylor explained to fans, "Basically broke my neck a while back & didn't realize it. Had 2 have disc replaced & work on vertebrae. Those 1st shows rescheduled for Aug."
