Sum 41 Cancels Last Five Warped Tour Shows

Sum 41 have been forced to cancel their last five days on this year’s Vans Warped Tour as singer Deryck Whibley is still recovering after being attacked in Japan. Against doctors’ wishes, Whibley performed with the band at the Summer Sonic Festival last week in Osaka and Tokyo however he is now taking the time to properly heal.

Drummer Steve Jocz said:

“Being a part of Warped Tour this summer meant a lot to us. We haven’t toured in two years and the bands, the crowds and the entire Warped Tour crew have been amazing to us. We were excited to be back in front of our fans and are very disappointed that we have to pull off the tour. We know that it would be more frustrating for the fans if we can’t give it our all. Deryck is doing everything he can to get himself better and we’re there for him.”

Sum 41 are expected to be able to go on their tour of Europe at the end of the month.

The band canceled their Warped appearances for:
8/11 – Pomona, CA
8/12 – Marysville, CA
8/13 – Boise, ID
8/14 – Quincy, WA
8/15 – Portland, OR
