STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Forced To Postpone Last Four Shows Of Summer Tour Due To Illness
September 14, 2011, 13 years ago
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS have been forced to postpone the last four shows of the summer 2011 tour. The band were scheduled to perform tonight (Wednesday, September 14) at the Taft Theater in Cincinnati, OH, but per Scott Weiland’s physician’s diagnosis, Scott was put on immediate vocal rest.
Dr. Sid Khosla, Director of the UC Health Voice Center in Cincinnati – “Today myself, Dr. Eva Van Leer and ENT Dr, Keith Casper consulted with Mr. Weiland. Upon a video stroboscopy we determined his left vocal chord has likely scarring and his right vocal chord is tremendously inflamed. With such a heavy concert schedule and vocal activity we determined that Mr. Weiland could potentially run the risk of a vocal hemmorage or suffer permanent damage hence putting him on complete vocal rest.”
Adds the band: "STP apologizes to their fans and should have their remaining three shows rescheduled soon. And of course, refunds are available at the point of purchase."
