Slipknot, etc. vocalist Corey Taylor was forced to scrap his planned appearance at today’s (October 07th) ‘Aftershock‘ festival in Sacramento, CA. According to Taylor, both personal injury and illness in his band’s camp are to blame for the setback. A statement issued earlier today reads as follows:
“TO MY AFTERSHOCK FRIENDS & FAMILY –
I AM SO SADDENED TO INFORM YOU THAT WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PERFORM AT AFTERSHOCK TODAY. DURING OUR LOS ANGELES SHOW THIS PAST WEEK, I FELL ON STAGE AND SUSTAINED A SIGNIFICANT INJURY TO MY KNEE. ON TOP OF THIS, A FEW MEMBERS OF OUR BAND AND CREW HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY COVID, AND AS A RESULT, WE ARE UNABLE TO PERFORM. THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR TEAM AND THE FESTIVAL ATTENDEES IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO US. WE ARE DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED BY THIS SITUATION BUT ARE HOPING FOR A FAST RECOVERY FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.
THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING TOUR – AND WE CAN’T
WAIT TO ROCK OUT WITH YOU SOON.COREY TAYLOR“
