"Unfortunately, due to food poisoning and dehydration Joey DeMaio is under doctor’s care and has been ordered not to travel or perform at this time," says a message from Manowar. "Therefore the last two shows of the Final Battle World Tour 2017 will be rescheduled.

"Joey is expected to make a full recovery and with proper rest and treatment he will be back to lead the battle once again.

"Fans with tickets for the Stuttgart shows on December 15th and 16th, 2017 please be patient and hold on to your tickets while we work to reschedule these shows as soon as possible."

Joey DeMaio will embark on The Blood Of The Kings spoken-word tour in November 2019. DeMaio announced the event for every true Manowar fan only hours prior a sold-out concert in Munich, Germany.

For the first time ever, Manowar will open their secret archives so that fans can finally hear the official history of Manowar, from the very beginning until now.
