Just whiplash to see these cancellations coming in between new tour announcements (Mastodon/Opeth tour for one).

That's not due to covid though. Patton is struggling with mental health issues.

thanks for that, sorry. i hadn't seen Patton's separate release and the first tweet linking the FNM announcement said it was from COVID and i jumped the gun.

accidentally posted this in the wrong thread:

Dead and Company cancelled their two Florida shows coming up next month. Official reasoning being "routing and production logistics", but I won't be surprised to lean that is has more to do with DeSantis and his anti-vaccine proof stance. They've been pretty big on proof of vaccine requirements at their shows and vocally concerned about Delta. Considering they are still managing the "routing and production logistics" are still getting them through North Carolina and Georgia, it's hard not to read between the lines about why only the Florida shows got scratched.

Judas Priest cancelled rest of US tour, though NOT due to COVID, but due to Richie Faulkner's ticker problems (he's my age!!! ;_;)

This was the thread I was actually looking for, but as mentioned in the other thread, Sturgill Simpson cancelled a bunch of shows (including his Webster Hall residency) due to ongoing vocal issues. He had COVID last year so maybe it's long-term effects?
