There's some rumors going around as to why and we're here to set the record straight. But we wanted to wait til we got all the information before making an announcement.

"The reason it is canceled is because they found a tumor in my esophagus that goes into my stomach and I'll have to be getting treatment all Summer and of course full support of the band, as soon as they heard it they 'forget the tour, just get healthy'.

"You know were not happy about it seriously, like I said they're all behind me staying home and us staying home. We really feel sorry, I feel sorry for the fans. All of our crew was banking on, you know, another fun summer together, all the promoters, but everyone who knows has been very supportive and now ow everyones knows.

"So that's the reason, no other reason you heard is the truth, this is the truth. So yea, just thanks for all your support and hopefully we beat this thing and we see you at the end of the Summer, or maybe the Winter. Take care."
