MAYHEM Cancels Fall 2024 North American Tour 'Due To A Member Of The Band Having A Medical Emergency'
November 7, 2024Norwegian black metallers MAYHEM have canceled their previously announced North American 40th-anniversary tour "due to a member of the band having a medical emergency that requires immediate surgery."
