BUCKCHERRY/HELLYEAH Tour Sidelined By Snow

February 3, 2011

Promoters were forced to cancel two shows on the current Jägermeister Music Tour, starring BUCKCHERRY, HELLYEAH, ALL THAT REMAINS and THE DAMNED THINGS. According to The Pulse Of Radio, Tuesday night's (February 1) gig in Chicago and Wednesday's (February 2) show in Waterloo, Iowa were both put on ice by the massive winter storms hitting the American Midwest. The tour is scheduled to resume on Friday (February 4) in St. Louis, Missouri, weather permitting.

A statement released by FM Entertainment said, "Hazardous conditions with forecasts consisting of upwards of three feet of snow and 50-plus mph winds have led us to this decision. The overall safety of the public as well as that of the bands are the priority and the major concern at this time."

BUCKCHERRY frontman Josh Todd agreed, saying, "We always come to each city ready to put on a great show, but the safety of our fans is more important. We look forward to coming back to rock Chicago and Waterloo very soon!"

The tour has apparently run into some additional bad luck, with BUCKCHERRY bassist Jimmy Ashhurst posting on Twitter earlier this week that 12 members of the tour, both musicians and crew members, were brought down by food poisoning from bad catering at a show in Clive, Iowa.

BUCKCHERRY is promoting its latest effort, "All Night Long", while HELLYEAH is out behind its sophomore outing, "Stampede".
