Alice in Chains confirm tour cancellation after drummer suffers ‘medical emergency’

Alice in Chains revealed from Los Angeles that they will be canceling their upcoming tour following a medical emergency involving drummer Sean Kinney during a soundcheck on May 8.

The band, co-founded in 1987 with Kinney and lead vocalist Jerry Cantrell as the last remaining founding members, had planned four US shows and two in Birmingham, England.
Kinney expressed gratitude for fan support and wrote, “I’m going to be fine” and “I’m going to live,” while the band confirmed all festival appearances and headline shows were canceled following medical advice.
The band stated Sean’s health is their top priority and indicated his long-term prognosis is positive, with hopes to return to performing in the future.
