Sick Of It All vocalist Lou Koller has revealed that the New York hardcore stalwarts were forced to cancel their touring plans after doctors found a tumor in his esophagus.
The band had toured through the UK and Europe in May, and had upcoming dates lined up in Belgium, Germany and Poland this summer, but cancelled the shows. Now, in a post on Instagram, frontman Koller has revealed exactly why, to “set the record straight.”
“The reason its cancelled is that they found a tumor in my esophagus that goes into my stomach, and I’ll have to be getting treatment all summer... of course, with full support of the band,” the singer says. “As soon as they heard it, they were, like, ‘Forget the tour. Just get healthy.’ We're not happy about it, seriously, but like I said, they’re all behind me staying home and us staying home.”
