Alice In Chains have canceled all of their previously scheduled headline performances after drummer Sean Kinney suffered a non-life-threatening medical emergency. The band initially scrapped their May 8 show at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT, following the incident, and later announced the decision to cancel all remaining festival appearances and headlining dates this month. In a statement, the group emphasized that Kinney’s health is their top priority. Canceled appearances include sets at MMRBQ, Sonic Temple, Welcome to Rockville, and headlining shows in Nashville and Dothan. Alice In Chains are currently on the bill for the final Black Sabbath show on July 5 in Brimingham, United Kingdom, which is the only show listed on their website thus far.
The group announced on Friday (9th):
“After Careful consideration and following the advice of medical professionals, we have made the decision to cancel our upcoming festival performances and the Alice In Chains headline shows. While we were all eager to return to the stage, Sean’s health is our top priority at this moment. Although the issue requires immediate attention, his long-term prognosis is positive. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and support during this time.”
