SICK OF IT ALL Cancels European Tour

March 10, 2007

SICK OF IT ALL drummer Armand Majidi has released the following statement:

"Here's the unfortunate news that everybody feared: the European tour has to be cancelled. Even after canceling the U.S. tour with DROPKICK MURPHYS, we don't feel there's enough time for Lou [Koller, vocals] to make a full recovery [from a recent back injury] between now and the start of the European tour in late March. This injury was much worse and the recovery much slower than we expected. Taking this extra time for Lou's back to heal will hopefully mean that the rest of the year won't hold any more nasty surprises like this one.

"We've never had to cancel two tours in a row before, so we feel awful about disappointing our fans and friends. It's definitely a regretful situation. At least we'll be coming back to Europe during festival season in June and July, so we get to see each other again soon. Everybody has been amazingly understanding of the situation, and have sent Lou a lot of well-wishes — we really appreciate it. Thanks for your loyalty.

"Don't worry, Australia and Singapore — we're still on for May, and by that time all of us will be ready to explode onto the stage again!"

SICK OF IT ALL's tribute album, "Our Impact Will Be Felt", will be released on April 24 through Abacus Recordings. The CD features bands such as RISE AGAINST, BLEEDING THROUGH, BOUNCING SOULS, SEPULTURA, and HATEBREED covering their favorite tracks that SICK OF IT ALL has recorded in the past 20 years.
