COREY TAYLOR cancels North American tour: "mental and physical health have been breaking down”

08-01-2024

SLIPKNOT singer Corey Taylor has canceled his previously announced North American solo tour.

The trek, which was scheduled to feature support from DES ROCS and JIGSAW YOUTH, was due to launch on February 3 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and conclude on March 3 in Omaha, Nebraska.

Last week (Friday, January 5), Corey released the following statement via social media: “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 I.

“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.”

Corey recently completed European and North American tours in support of his second solo album, “CMF2”, which was released on September 15. Taylor‘s first album for BMG and the first on his own label imprint, Decibel Cooper Recordings, was produced by Jay Ruston (ANTHRAXSTEEL PANTHERAMON AMARTH), who also helmed STONE SOUR‘s 2017 LP “Hydrograd” as well as 2020’s “CMFT”.

Throughout “CMF2”Taylor sings, plays lead and rhythm guitar, piano, and mandolin.
