SLIPKNOT’s Corey Taylor Cancels North American Solo Tour Amid Mental & Physical Health Concerns

SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR vocalist Corey Taylor has pulled the plug on his February/March North American tour with Des Rocs & Jigsaw Youth. The multi-platinum performer “cites mental and physical health” as the cause for the cancelation.

Here is Corey’s statement issued on the matter yesterday, January 5th:

“It is with a heavy heart that I announce the cancellation of my upcoming North American tour. 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 l. 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. Those of you who bought tickets and VIP packages for this upcoming run will get a full refund.

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.”
