Slipknot singer Corey Taylor has cancelled his upcoming North American solo tour, issuing a statement apologizing to fans while explaining that he must take a reprieve for his health.
Taylor, who last year released his second solo studio album, CMF2, was due to tour the U.S. and Canada with support from Des Rocs and Jigsaw Youth throughout February and March 2024.
See his explanation for the tour cancelation below.
“it is with a heavy heart that i announce the cancellation of my upcoming north american tour,” Taylor says. “for the past several months my mental and physical health have been breaking down, and i reached a place that was unhealthy for my family and i.”
He continues, “i know this decision will come as a shock to some and may be regarded as unpopular by others — but after taking a hard look at where i am and where i was going, i need to pull myself back and be home with my family for the time being.”
Taylor explains, “those of you who bought tickets and vip packages for this upcoming run will get a full refund.”
He adds, “i send my love to the fans, my band, my family & friends, and everyone who’s helped me get here thus far. i promise i’m doing everything i can to be as healthy as i can be. until then, my apologies to everyone we would have seen on the tour and hopefully we’ll see you again down the line. corey taylor”
