This past June, Chad Kroeger learned he had an “intracordal cyst” on his voice box, forcing Nickelback to cancel their North American tour. Surgery was successful, but the band has now cancelled the remainder of their 2015 tour dates, as doctors want Kroeger to get some more rest.
In a statement from the band:
“We are sorry to miss our fans out on the road this fall, but Chad’s health, healing and full recovery are what is most important right now. With the proper amount of time, we hope to have him back stronger and better than ever before. We thank everyone for their support and understanding during this time and look forward to getting back out on the road and playing music for everyone again real soon.”
Nickelback were set to hit the road in late September and tour most all of October and November. All of this touring was in support of last year’s No Fixed Address album. Though it has sold 101,000 copies so far, it’s their “lowest-selling (album) in recent history.”
