COREY TAYLOR Cancels North American Tour – “For The Past Several Months My Mental And Physical Health Have Been Breaking Down”
January 5, 2024, 11 months ago
Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour) has canceled his North American touring that was due to begin on February 3 in Toronto, ON.
Taylor said in a statement:
"It is with a heavy heart that I announce the cancellation of my upcoming North American tour.
"For the past several months my mental and physical health have been breaking down, and I reached a place that was unhealthy for my family and I.
"I know this decision will come as a shock to some and may be regarded as unpopular by others — but after taking a hard look at where I am and where I was going, I need to pull myself back and be home with my family for the time being.
"Those of you who bought tickets and VIP packages for this upcoming run will get a full refund.
"I send my love to the fans, my band, my family & friends, and everyone who's helped me get here thus far. I promise I'm doing everything I can to be as healthy as I can be. Until then, my apologies to everyone we would have seen on the tour — and hopefully we'll see you again down the line."

CMF2, out now, is Taylor's first album for BMG and the first on his own label imprint, Decibel Cooper Recordings. The album was produced by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Steel Panther, Amon Amarth), who also produced Stone Sour’s 2017 Hydrograd as well as Taylor’s solo debut release, CMFT.
The 13-track opus packs the energy, experimentation, and forthrightness that’s defined a career which has seen him sell more than 12 million albums with his Grammy Award-winning band Slipknot and several million with chart-toppers Stone Sour. Throughout CMF2, Taylor sings and plays lead and rhythm guitar, piano, and mandolin.
