Rage Against The Machine have cancelled their 2023 North American tour dates.
The band were scheduled to hit the road next spring for their Public Service Announcement Tour, but frontman Zack de la Rocha's leg injury, which occurred during the Chicago show on their summer North American trek, has forced the band to cancel more gigs. In a statement, de la Rocha wrote:
"It's been almost three months since Chicago, and I still look down at my leg In disbelief. Two years of waiting through the pandemic, hoping we would have an opening to be a band again and continue the work we started 30 some odd years ago. Rehearsing, training, reconciling, working our way back to form. Then one and a half shows into it and my tendon tears."
He continued: "I have a severe tear in my left Achilles tendon and only 8% of my tendon was left intact. And even that portion was severely compromised. It’s not simply a question of being able to perform again, but extends to basic functionality going forward." Read the full note below.
Those who purchased tickets for the North American leg will be automatically refunded. Back in August, they pulled their UK and European tour for the same reason.
