Disturbed cancel US tour dates

2010-10-09 by maidenpmcc | 43 Comments
Disturbed's previously announced U.S. tour has been canceled because the band's lead singer, David Draiman, has been diagnosed with a serious throat condition.

According to tour promoter LiveNation, the unspecified "condition" is not permanent, but Draiman must stop performing for at least four weeks in order for it to heal. Refunds are available at point of purchase.

Draiman in 2006 underwent successful surgery to fix a deviated septum which was making breathing difficult and affecting his vocal abilities on stage.

Draiman told a California radio station last month that the band will be doing two legs of its Music As A Weapon tour in 2011. Draiman did not reveal the lineup, but said, "The co-headliner for the tour** is massive. And it's going to be appearing in a union that I think hard rock and heavy metal fans have been wanting to happen for awhile. It has happened before, but only in brief stints. Now it's gonna happen for the duration of a two-leg-long tour. And we're gonna join forces with a leviathan. And we're really looking forward to it."

** According to fairly reliable sources, the co-headliner is slated to be KoRn.

KoRn was awful at mayhem fest, there was literally no crowd involvement or even a 'what's up mayhem?!'

That sucks. His live vocals pre-2006 were amazing. His voice is still pretty good now, but it can't afford to deteriorate more. I hope he gets better.

1. Well it can be posted because it counts as news as a pretty moderately major tour has been cancelled that many many people probably bought tickets for.
2. Plenty of people here even on this site like Disturbed, almost all their albums have an average rating above 3 here its just that pretty much every article to do with Disturbed is a magnet for the haters for them all to congregate and jerk each other off

The best part is that in Rock Band, when performing the vocals for Disturbed, it reads AWK AWK! when he makes that stupid
coughing noise.
