Godsmack Cancel Tour Due To Sully Erna's Medical Issues

06/28/2012
. Godsmack frontman Sully Erna's medical conditions appear to be worse than originally thought as the band announced on Wednesday that they are pulling the plug on their current European tour.

The band had the following to say on their website: Due to continued vocal issues with singer Sully Erna, Godsmack are forced to cancel the remaining dates on their currently scheduled European tour. Erna was examined by throat specialists in the US yesterday and the advice of his doctors has been advised to not sing for the next several weeks to allow time for his vocal chords to heal. The current tour marked the first time the band had toured Europe in nearly nine years, and the band were only able to perform two of their fourteen scheduled dates in Europe.

In an e-mail from Sully, he writes: "Sorry Europe. Seems like we can't catch a break there lately. London you were one of the best crowds we've played to in a very long time.... Belgium, you were awesome as well. As for the rest of you in Europe that we weren't able to reach, I promise you we'll be back!! For now it's lots of rest and fluids for me until my vocal specialist clears me to sing again. My deepest apologies Europe! You'll see us again. Thanks for your support and understanding."
