Slipknot singer Corey Taylor has canceled his upcoming North American solo tour, issuing a statement apologizing to fans, explaining that he must take a reprieve for his health.
Taylor, who last year released his second solo album, CMF2, was due to tour the U.S. and Canada with support from Des Rocs and Jigsaw Youth throughout February and March 2024. In his Friday (Jan. 5) statement, Taylor promises those who already bought tickets will get refunds.
See his complete explanation for the tour cancellation down toward the bottom of this post.
“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.”
