SLIPKNOT: New York City, Lewiston Shows Cancelled

October 28, 2005

Roadrunner Records has issued the following statement:

"Due to Shawn 'Clown' Crahan's father passing away, SLIPKNOT has been forced to postpone its Philadelphia, PA (Oct. 27 and Oct. 28) and cancel its New York, NY (Oct. 30, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1) and Lewiston, ME (Nov. 3) shows on its 'Final Volume' tour. The Philadelphia show will now take place on Tues Nov 8th. This date was previously slated to be that of the second show in Worcester, MA. The second Worcester date has been cancelled so that the Philly fans will have their fair chance to see the band. Any Philly fans who can't make the rescheduled show should try to attend the Atlantic City show on Nov. 9. The tour will resume, with dates happening as scheduled, on Nov. 4 in Montreal, Canada. All tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. The band deeply apologizes for all cancellations and changes."

SLIPKNOT have been touring the U.S. without guitarist Jim Root, who broke his wrist the day before the tour's Oct. 14 kickoff in Cincinnati. Root did the damage when he crashed while mountain biking. He'll be in a cast for at least six weeks and it's unknown if he'll be able to join the band on any of the remaining dates.

SLIPKNOT's live album, "9.0: Live" album, is scheduled for release on November 1 via Roadrunner Records (one day earlier internationally).
