Alternative rockers CKY have been forced to postpone their May U.S. touring, including their ‘Sonic Temple‘ set, in light of their drummer Jess Margera suffering a rotator cuff injury. Announcing the matter earlier today, the band stated:
“CKY MAY TOUR POSTPONED – It is with deep regret that we have to announce the postponement of our upcoming May tour. Unfortunately, Jess sustained a rotator cuff injury and has been benched by his doctor for a few weeks while it heals up.
Our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience to everyone who bought tickets, the promoters, the support acts, everyone who helped put this tour together, and our crew. We know you were looking forward to this tour as much as we were, and we’re currently working to reschedule the dates for later this year.
The rest of our upcoming tour dates are STILL ON, including our July PNW tour (with additional dates added), as well as some new tour dates that we will be announcing shortly!”
“We have 14 boxes of tour merch arriving tomorrow, which we’ll be selling online at a discount. We’ll share a link once we’ve got it all sorted!”
Margera himself personally went on to add:
“Howdy folks, well turns out a shoulder injury I’ve been ignoring took a turn for the worse, as I royally fucked it recently. I even heard a pop. I went to the doctor (I hate going to the doctor) and it turns out I need 4-5 weeks recovery time. Otherwise I will permanently fuck it royally and need surgery.
So the good news is I will be back in the saddle this summer and the bad news is the May CKY dates are being postponed and rebooked as I type this. Please hang on to your tickets until then. Can’t Def Leppard it (I tried) Need both arms. Again I am really sorry for this inconvenience and I promise to go full Ali vs Frazier when I recover. As Ringo says : Peace & Love and looking forward to seeing you all very soon.”
As Margera indicated, he expects to be good to go for the summer, with the band currently booked for the following shows at the moment:
07/09 Bellingham, WA – Wild Buffalo House Of Music
07/10 Seattle, WA – El Corazon
07/11 Portland, OR – Nova PDX
07/12 Bend, OR – Midtown Ballroom
07/18 Fort Worth, TX – The Rail
10/01 Sacramento, CA – Aftershock
