The Murderdolls, the group featuring Slipknot’s Joey Jordison and Wednesday 13, has been forced to cancel their previously announced December Violent Night, Deadly Night tour. The band released the following joint statement:

“Due to an unforeseeable family emergency, Murderdolls have been forced to cancel the upcoming Violent Night, Deadly Night tour.  These decisions are never easy to make and we did everything we could to keep from having to cancel, but this was unavoidable.  We’ll do our best to make up the dates in 2011.  For those who bought tickets, refunds are available from point of purchase.  Sorry ghoulscouts but we’ll see you all soon!”

Plans to reschedule the dates have yet to be made. This tour was to follow their opening stint on Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper’s Halloween Hootenanny tour this past Fall. We will keep you updated if more is revealed. But in case you’re really sad about not seeing The Murderdolls live, you can see their new video for the song “Nowhere” above to fill the void.
