Stone Temple Pilots have cancelled their North American tour.
The band were set to embark on a 26-date unplugged trek next month but have been forced to pull the shows due to lead singer Jeff Gutt requiring surgery for a severely herniated disc. The band broke the news with a statement on social media:
"We are sorry to announce that we must cancel the upcoming Perdida acoustic tour. Our brother Jeff has a severely herniated disc and doctors have advised immediate surgery which will require weeks of recovery time and physical therapy. Thankfully Jeff is expected to make a full recovery and we will continue with our Australian tour with Live and Bush in April, the summer tour with Nickelback, and we hope to reschedule the Perdida tour later this year. Everyone who purchased tickets for the Perdida tour will get full refunds for their tickets at point of purchase.
"Thank you all for your understanding. We love you all and hope to see you on the road again soon."
Despite hopes to rearrange the dates, the band have instructed ticket holders to seek refunds from the point of purchase. Their Australian shows with Live and Bush in April remain unaffected, as does their summer tour with Nickelback.
Stone Temple Pilots will release their new album, 'Perdida', on February 7.
