“It is with a heavy heart that I announce the cancellation of my upcoming North American tour,” the Slipknot singer and solo frontman told fans.
Taylor, who was set to hit the road across North America in February to support his CMF2 album release, has revealed on social media, “For the past several months my mental and physical health have been breaking down, and I reached a place that was unhealthy for my family and I. I know this decision will come as a shock to some and may be regarded as unpopular by others – but after taking a hard look at where I am and where I was going, I need to pull myself back and be home with my family for the time being. Those of you who bought tickets and VIP packages for this upcoming run will get a full refund.”
Corey adds: “I send my love to the fans, my band, my family & friends, and everyone who’s helped me get here thus far. I promise I’m doing everything I can to be as healthy as I can be. Until then, my apologies to everyone we would have seen on the tour – and hopefully we’ll see you again down the line.”
Corey Taylor's sophomore album CMF2 is out now featuring 13 all-new tracks showing off the eclectic musical mind of the masked metal marauder.
