Korn frontman Jonathan Davis’ strained vocal chords have forced Korn to scrap the last five dates of its current U.S. tour.
Davis’ vocal coach and doctors have advised the singer to cancel the dates “to prevent permanent damage to [his] vocal cords,” according to the group’s publicist.
The affected dates are: Binghampton, N.Y., on Dec. 7; Erie, Pa., on Dec. 8; Utica, N.Y., on Dec. 10; Reading, Pa., on Dec. 11; and Bidgeport, Conn., on Dec. 12.
The group is, however, scheduled to perform its Wednesday (12/4) and Thursday (12/5) shows in Montreal and Toronto, respectively, “in order not to disappoint their Canadian fans,” the group’s publicist said. Those two stops are make-up dates for shows that were postponed earlier this year.
Korn has been touring in support of its fifth album, “Untouchables,” which in June debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The album has sold about 1.2 million copies since its June release, according to industry sources.
Last month, the band released “Korn Live,” a DVD that captures the group’s June 10 performance at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom.
