Shadows Fall Cancel Tour Dates For Medical Reasons

11/07/2012
. Shadows Fall have canceled their tour dates this week due to drummer Jason Bittner's medical issues.

The group announced on Tuesday that Thursday's date in Fayetteville, NC through Sunday's date in Jacksonville, Florida have been canceled.

Shadows Fall drummer Jason Bittner explains, " For those who may not know- I was diagnosed last week with acute pancreatitis - for most of the last Shadows Fall tour I was in a lot of abdominal pain which I figured was either food poisoning or a stomach bug, unfortunately it turns out to be a little more serious than that. After a trip to the ER last Monday I received the diagnosis and some pain treatment. That being said it pains me to say that due to Doctor's orders I am not cleared (nor do I even feel like I could pick up a stick) to begin touring until after I see the specialist and my blood work is back to normal, I apologize to the fans cause it kills me to not be there, but my health comes first and I need to recuperate in order to return 110%"

Shadows Fall is on their first headlining tour in support of their 2012 album Fire From The Sky. The Party To The Apocalypse Tour" features additional support from God Forbid, Thy Will Be Done, and Trumpet The Harlot.
