Norwegian black metal legends MAYHEM have been forced to pull the plug on their 40th anniversary North American tour due to a band member’s health crisis. While the European leg of the tour remains unaffected, fans in North America will have to wait until 2025 for their chance to witness the legendary black metal band live.
Band said in a statement: “MAYHEM regrets to inform fans that the upcoming 40th anniversary performances in North America are cancelled due to a member of the band having a medical emergency that requires immediate surgery, which will result in a prolonged recovery period. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.
“Fret not, American and Canadian legion, as MAYHEM will have something coming up next year that will make this up to those of you who have been disappointed by this news.”
