DROWNING POOL Forced To Reschedule Australian Tour

May 29, 2008

Texas modern rockers DROWNING POOL have been forced to reschedule their previously announced Australian tour while lead vocalist Ryan McCombs gets some vocal rest as prescribed by his doctors. McCombs has been assured that his "strained vocal cords" will heal completely with time and rest.

"We look forward to coming to Australia and are sorry for any inconvenience our postponing the trip causes our fans," McCombs said in a statement. "Hopefully, the new dates will allow us to spend more time down there so that we really get to see and experience everything."

The affected dates are as follows:

May 30 - Adelaide, AUS @ HQ Live
June 01 - Melbourne, AUS @ - The Palace
June 03 - Sydney, AUS @ - Enmore Theatre
June 04 - Brisbane, AUS @ - The Arena

DROWNING POOL has been on the road in support of its third album, "Full Circle", which marks the recording debut of McCombs.

DROWNING POOL lost its first singer, Dave Williams, to heart disease in 2002, and parted with a second vocalist and a record label while attempting its first comeback two years later.

More recently, bassist Stevie Benton was diagnosed in December with a neurological disorder called Bell's Palsy, which causes paralysis of the face and occasional sensitivity to sound. The group had to cancel the rest of its immediate tour dates so that Benton could recover.
