New York-based metalcore band Emmure have cancelled their forthcoming UK tour due to vocalist Frankie Palmeri suffering from a severe acute and chronic reflux laryngitis. In late February, Palmeri suffered a “major tear” in his vocal chord which led to the band postponing a show. It is likely the band will also not be appearing at next month’s Slam Dunk Festival.
Emmure posted the following message:
“Due to unfortunate circumstances, we must cancel our upcoming EU/UK touring plans with Caliban, Thy Art Is Murder and Sworn In due to Frankie’s still yet to be determined healing process. He has severe acute and chronic reflux laryngitis and a weak (partially paralyzed) left vocal cord. We appreciate the support we received on the last tour with Suicide Silence in Frankie’s absence, at this time we are going to put our focus towards writing a new album while he recovers and we hope to see you all very soon. – E”
