ROB ZOMBIE: Irish Concerts Canceled For 'Personal Reasons'

June 7, 2011

Because of undisclosed "personal reasons," the previously announced ROB ZOMBIE concerts at The Olympia Theatre in Dublin on June 28 and Ulster Hall in Belfast on June 29 have been canceled.

Full ticket refunds for the cancelled concert dates are now available from the point of purchase.

Promoters MCD and Rob Zombie wish to apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Rob Zombie recently welcomed ex-MARILYN MANSON drummer Ginger Fish into the current lineup of his band, replacing Joey Jordison, who is leaving to return to SLIPKNOT. The Pulse Of Radio asked Zombie if he could hear a difference in the group's sound with the new man on the kit. "It's hard to describe how they're different," he said. "I mean, you know, Joey's a very, like, more of a power drummer I would say, you know, just a more bombastic sort of drummer, and Ginger's more of a, kind of like a groove-style drummer. It's kind of funny 'cause as with anything, either style seems to work really well with our music, so it's good."

Fish played his first shows with Zombie back in February while Jordison was touring Europe with his side band MURDERDOLLS. Jordison rejoined Zombie's band for some headlining U.K. dates before departing again.

Fans will get to see Fish on the road with Zombie this summer, when Zombie co-headlines a string of North American dates with SLAYER. The trek begins on July 20 in Reading, Pennsylvania, finishing up on August 6 in Seattle.
