Iced Earth concerten verplaatst

[Master of Puppets]

Zojuist is bekend geworden dat Iced Earth de concerten in maart heeft moeten uitstellen naar een nog nader te bepalen datum dit najaar. Bandleider/gitarist Jon Schaffer heeft onlangs een zware rugoperatie ondergaan en is tot zijn grote teleurstelling nog niet volledig hersteld.

"Hello All,

"As some of you may have heard I recently had lower back surgery. It seemed early on that things were going well with my recovery, however in recent weeks a new problem has developed. I will be undergoing some intense testing in the next week to 10 days to see what the next steps will be. Which leads to the bad news, due to the serious complications with my back, we're going to have to postpone the European leg of the tour. It really depends on what the doctor says after all testing is done and the options are on the table. If another surgery is necessary it may push the tour back even more. Obviously this is the absolute last thing that we ever want to do, but my health has to come first, and the potential of causing permanent damage is very real.

"Those of you that have been following the band for a long time know that it's always top priority to give you the best show possible. At the current and very intense level of pain that I'm in, there's no way that I'd be able to do my part and give 100%, and you don't deserve anything less.

"The guys in the band are as disappointed as I am but they are understanding and supportive at the same time.

" 'The Glorious Burden' is by far the album that has received the best reviews in the band's history, charted the best around the world, sold more than double in the early stages compared with 'Horror Show' in all major territories, and continues to grow full steam ahead. It is the album that I knew it would be and I hate that we have to change our plans due to my back problems. However, in the big picture, it's the only decision that I can make.

"I hope you all can understand the seriousness of the situation. Please know that as much as this sucks, it's the best thing for me, the band, and for you.

"The tour WILL happen, and when it does, I guarantee you will see the best ICED EARTH show you ever have! I feel 10 years younger and am having fun again, it totally sucks that my back is causing these problems!

"I thank you in advance for your support through this tough time and will keep you posted as to my progress...

"Take care, Jon Schaffer"


godverdomme.

Echt heel kut inderdaad. Ik heb mijn kaartje hier al zo'n 2 maanden liggen, en ik had me er echt op verheugd. Nu ja, de vorige keer hebben ze ook een vervangende datum gekozen, dus dat zal ook deze keer waarschijnlijk wel gebeuren.

Rugherstel is meestal een heel langdurig proces.

En ik vind het ook major suckage .
