MACHINE HEAD: Columbus Show Cancelled, 36 CRAZYFISTS And GOD FORBID To Play On

May 7, 2004

MACHINE HEAD have been forced to cancel tonight's show in Columbus due to problems with frontman Robert Flynn's voice. The following is Flynn's official statement on the matter:

"As embarrassed as I am to say this, I'd like to apologize to all of the MACHINE HEAD fans who came from all over to see the Columbus show tonight. It's all on me, man. My throat is fucked. We nearly pulled Cleveland last night, but I went to a throat doctor yesterday and he jacked me up on steroids, antibiotics, and 12 Ibuprofen, so I pulled through last night. It ain't gonna happen tonight though.

"Brock from 36 CRAZYFISTS caught strep throat a few days back and we're not sure if that's what I have, but I can barely talk, let alone sing. I'm sorry if I let anyone down, it really is a bummer for us, especially in light of all the negativity that's surrounded this tour.

"GOD FORBID and 36 CRAZYFISTS will be playing tonight however, and all remaining dates will go on as scheduled.

"Again, I apologize sincerely, and thank you in advance for your understanding."
