Children Of Bodom continue to cancel shows with the impending “Ruisrock Festival” being the latest to fall victim. The wave of missed appearances come as a result of band vocalist/guitarist Alexi Laiho being hospitalized for what is being described as a “serious infection”.
The group took to their Facebook earlier today (July 05th) for the following update on his condition:
“This is not an easy letter for us to write. Alexi is suffering from a serious infection. He is still in hospital in Oslo under supervision of the doctors and we don’t know yet when they will release him.
We have no choice other than canceling Ruisrock in Turku on Saturday as well. This is a very bitter pill for us to swallow. We had decided to do only two festivals in our homeland this summer to make it real special, and now this.
We hope that we will be able to make up for this very soon. To all our fans who had been looking forward to rock with us at Ruisrock this weekend, take our apologies and enjoy the festival. In our spirits, we will be there, too.
Henkka, Roope, Janne, Jaska“
