Alice in Chains have officially canceled their upcoming tour dates following a non-life-threatening medical emergency involving drummer Sean Kinney. The news comes after the band withdrew from what was set to be the opening show of the tour.
The group had planned a series of performances surrounding their appearance at the Sonic Temple festival in Columbus, Ohio, scheduled for this Sunday. Additional canceled shows included sets at Welcome to Rockville and Boardwalk Rock next weekend.
In an official statement, the band explained that, after consulting with medical professionals, they have decided to cancel all upcoming festival performances and headlining shows.
