KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have been forced to cancel a string of scheduled tour dates so Jesse Leach can undergo vocal chord surgeries.
Says the band: “Earlier today we found out Jesse needs to have surgery to repair an issue with his vocal chords. He is expected to make a full recovery and be fine for any future touring, but to avoid any future risk we unfortunately have to pull off these dates now. Our intention is to postpone the headline shows in Sayreville, Louisville, Cleveland & Poughkeepsie and get back to our fans as soon as possible. New dates for those cities will be announced soon, so please hold onto your tickets.
“In the meantime our friends in Hatebreed, Candiria and The Word Alive still plan on continuing forward with these shows. Show them your support.
“Below are all the shows impacted by this. Tickets will be available for refund at your original price of purchase for the headline shows as noted below ***.

April
26 Sayreville, NJ – Starland Ballroom***
28 Jacksonville, FL – Welcome To Rockville Fest
29 Ft. Lauderdale, FL – Fort Rock Fest

Chef Brian Tsao, known for his appearances on Food Network’s Beat Bobby Flay and Chopped shows, has announced Small Bites Of Hope, a fundraiser event on May 9th at Vandal, the restaurant from Executive Chef and Food Network star Chef Chris Santos.
The event will be a fundraiser for the non-profit Hope For The Day, a Chicago-based charity whose mission is to achieve proactive suicide prevention through mental health education and outreach.
