AVENGED SEVENFOLD: More Shows Cancelled

September 9, 2008

According to Matin.qc.ca, Orange County, California heavy rockers AVENGED SEVENFOLD have cancelled two more shows on their current tour due to "artist illness" — tonight's (September 9) concert in Quebec City and tomorrow's gig in Montreal have both been called off and are expected to be rescheduled.

As previously reported, AVENGED SEVENFOLD's September 7 sold-out concert at Rams Head in Baltimore, Maryland was also cancelled.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD last month called off its appearance at England's Reading festival and scrapped the rest of its UK dates because of singer Matt Shadows's strained throat. An announcement posted by the band online stated, "(Shadows') doctors in the United Kingdom and Los Angeles have both advised him that he must rest his voice and cannot perform. Thankfully there are no long-term problems and with proper rest, Matt will return to the road shortly."

AVENGED SEVENFOLD had just released a DVD/CD package, entitled "Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough". The live DVD features the band's April 10 hometown show at the Long Beach Arena headlining the Rockstar Taste of Chaos tour, while the CD contains previously unreleased b-sides that were recorded during the making of "Avenged Sevenfold", plus various covers, and other never-before-heard material. The DVD was directed by Core Entertainment's Rafa Alcantara, who also worked on the band's critically acclaimed 2007 road documentary "All Excess".
