James MinchinBad news for Linkin Park fans. The band has canceled the remaining dates of its Hunting Party tour because a leg injury suffered by frontman Chester Bennington.
The band posted a note on their official website, saying, “Linkin Park regret to inform their fans they must cancel the remaining dates of The Hunting Party tour through February 14th, due to a leg injury of lead vocalist Chester Bennington. The injury requires immediate medical attention making it physically impossible for Bennington to perform.”
In his own statement, Bennington said, “I'm really disappointed this injury has made it impossible to continue with this tour. The first couple of shows were just magical. We will truly miss not being with our fans for the next few weeks. Hope to see you again soon.”
Fans are advised to seek refunds at the point of purchase.
Earlier Tuesday, LP announced it was canceling just two dates -- a show Tuesday in Pittsburgh and a concert Wednesday night in Albany, New York -– because of Bennington’s injury. There's no official word on the exact nature of that injury.
Linkin Park was on tour in support of their 2014 album, The Hunting Party.
