Slipknot have been forced to postpone the first few weeks of their upcoming headlining tour with Marilyn Manson and Of Mice & Men due to “unplanned surgery” that vocalist Corey Taylor had to undergo.
Taylor claims to have broken his neck “a while ago” and didn’t even realize it. The tour will officially begin on June 28th with the postponed dates to be rescheduled to August. Check out the official announcements below.
“Regretfully, I’m sending this to our fans to inform you that we will be postponing the first couple of weeks of our upcoming U.S tour. Unfortunately, I had to undergo an unplanned spinal surgery. I am recovering nicely, and all went well! I need a little recovery time before hitting the stage. We will start the summer tour in Nashville on 6/28 and continue as previously scheduled. An update on the rescheduled dates will be available in the next few days. I hope you all understand and thanks for always having my back!
Thank you”
-Corey

Enough w/ the conspiracy theories. I quit smoking b/c I wanted to. I had emergency surgery b/c shit came up during my physical.
Calm.
