STATIC-X has announced the cancellation of all remaining 2026 tour dates, citing “serious medical issues” affecting one or more undisclosed members of the group.

The news was shared on Monday, May 18 via the band’s official social media channels, where they addressed fans directly and confirmed that the decision was not optional due to the nature of the situation.

“Due to serious medical issues, STATIC-X will be forced to cancel our remaining tour dates in 2026. The situation is unavoidable and requires immediate attention.

“We are very sorry for the inconvenience, and we promise to return to the stage, bigger, stronger and faster in 2027.

“We appreciate your continued love and support and look forward to seeing you all again very soon!

“Sincerely, STATIC-X”.

Shortly after the announcement began circulating, the band followed up in the comments section of the post to reassure fans and soften concerns about the severity of the health problems involved. The message struck a more lighthearted tone and suggested the situation, while serious enough to require time off the road, was being managed.

The band added: “Thank you for all the well wishes! Your energy and love is much appreciated

“Don’t worry about us, we will be fine

“Just a bunch of old men with parts that need fixing

“Will be back stronger than ever soon”
