ANTHRAX singer, Joey Belladonna, has cancelled his upcoming South American tour that was scheduled to begin this week in Argentina.
A statement reads as follows:
"It is with deep sadness and regret that we have to announce the cancellation of my South American tour coming up at the end of this month. I love playing for the fans and the last thing I hate to do is cancel shows and disappoint my fans; without you I would not be able to live my dream as a musician. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control we have to announce the cancellation of the upcoming Belladonna tour of South America.
My team has been hard at work planning this tour with the promoters down in South America since January. With the recent earthquakes that have happened down there, we thought we would have to postpone or cancel the tour, but the promoters all scrambled to find new venues and we did everything we could to make this tour happen.
My staff has been hard at work trying to salvage these tour dates, but were unable to do so. I hope to see you all out on the road this summer when I am in Europe with Anthrax and the few select shows I have with my solo band Belladonna in America. More solo dates will be announced soon.
You can keep up to date on everything I am doing via my website and my MySpace page."
