FROM KING DIAMOND:
Tucson, Arizona
It is with a broken heart that we have to announce that King Diamond will not perform tonight due to dehydration from food poisoning.
We have tried our absolute best to continue the shows, but today it was necessary to seek doctor's advice, and at 3:48 pm H. Romero PA-C deemed it unsafe for King Diamond to perform tonight.

Again, we are so so incredibly sorry about this, but it would have been a serious health risk to proceed with the show.
We thank you so much for all your support, and hope to someday be able to make up for this!
Stay Heavy.
Also, we really appreciate H. Romero PA-C for running the tests and advising the treatment to get better, and we thank C. Doyle (RT) for her exceptional treatment.

Thank you for the fantastic audience, Los Angeles! Thank you all so much for the energy you radiated back to us.

King has severe food poisoning, and he was feeling extremely bad. I am amazed that he performed the entire show (except for Black Horsemen, before which he had to stop).

I sincerely hope that despite all this, you still had a great Halloween watching and enjoying our show!

Also huge thanks goes to the promoter and all his staff for their help with everything.

Thank you all so much again!

Please do share your experience from last night's show, we'd love to hear it!

Stay Heavy
 

FROM ANTTI BOMAN JESS AND THE ANCIENT ONES): 
The first and hopefully the only cancellation of the tour. For a serious reason, though, so get well soon, King!
