Soeben erreichte uns vom SLIPKNOT Label Roadrunner Records die Nachricht, dass aufgrund einer Verletzung des Schlagzeugers Joey Jordison alle Termine der laufenden Tour abgesagt werden. In Deutschland betrifft dies die Auftritte beim AREA 4 FESTIVAL und das Konzert am 27.08.2008 in Hamburg. Jordison hat sich gestern Abend seinen Knöchel gebrochen und fällt für mindestens einen Monat aus.



Die Band hat folgendes offizielles Statement abgegeben:



"To Our Fans:



It is with huge regret and disappointment that we have been forced to cancel our imminent European festival appearances at Leeds, Reading, 2 Days a Week, Area 4, as well as exclusive performances for MTV Europe and Virgin TV. The other night, Joey Jordison broke his ankle and doctors have advised Joey to stay off his leg for 4-6 weeks to prevent further injury or permanent and more serious damage.



We know you will be hugely disappointed and so are we. Canceling shows is never an easy decision and we apologize to all our fans, friends and family for not being there to throw down with you. We will be back in Europe this November and can't wait to see you all then.



Stay (sic),


Slipknot"
