Original Story:
Slipknot‘s immediate touring plans have been postponed due to band frontman Corey Taylor undergoing previously unplanned spinal surgery. The band now plan to kickoff their summer tour with Marilyn Manson and Of Mice & Men on June 28th as a result. Taylor issued the following statement on the matter:
“Regretfully, I’m sending this to our fans to inform you that we will be postponing the first couple of weeks of our upcoming U.S tour. Unfortunately, I had to undergo an unplanned spinal surgery. I am recovering nicely, and all went well! I need a little recovery time before hitting the stage. We will start the summer tour in Nashville on 6/28 and continue as previously scheduled. An update on the rescheduled dates will be available in the next few days. I hope you all understand and thanks for always having my back!
Thank you–Corey “
