Alice In Chains cancels tour as drummer experiences medical emergency

Alice In Chains has cancelled all of its spring tour dates due to a medical emergency issue experienced by drummer Sean Kinney.

“After our soundcheck this evening at the Mohegan Sun Arena, Sean experienced a non-life-threatening medical emergency,” shared the group on social media on Thursday, May 8. “We unfortunately have to cancel tonight’s show. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.”

The Seattle rockers updated fans on social media a day later, saying "After careful consideration and following the advice of medical professionals, we have made the decision to cancel our upcoming festival performances and the Alice In Chains headline shows. While we were all eager to return to the stage, Sean's health is our top priority at this moment. Although the issue requires immediate attention, his long-term prognosis is positive. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and support during this time."

While Alice In Chains has cancelled its spring series, they are next scheduled to appear on the bill for the Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath farewell event in Birmingham, UK on July 5.
