QUEENSRŸCHE singer Todd La Torre (CRIMSON GLORY), who has replaced Geoff Tate at the band's new frontman, has issued the following update:
"Hello everyone. I am so very sorry that we had to cancel our show on the 20th (Lincoln City, OR). Trust me, nothing feels worse than knowing so many made travel arrangements, local, out of state, even out of the country to attend the two shows in Oregon. I have been fighting a horrible cold, sinus issues, etc. I have no throat pain of any kind, I just have a horrible head/sinus/chest cold. The immense travel I do coupled with extreme climate change can sometimes create these scenarios. I am only human, and it was a collective decision to cancel. I could not sing at all. You all deserve what you came to see, and putting on a half ass performance by me isn't worthy in my opinion, nor the band's opinion either. We will most certainly be making this show up. I am back in Seattle now, basically confined to the house. I'm doing everything I can to stay healthy and get over this nasty cold. Thank you all for your understanding and support. If you think it was a letdown for you, you can only imagine how it felt for me and the band. We are looking forward to the next show on Saturday. Otherwise, have a great week everyone."
