Canceled dates
On 5 May, Alexi Laiho made the following statement:
“ | Four nights ago I fell out of my bunk in the tour bus and came down pretty damn hard as the driver was taking a sharp turn. It turns out I have a broken shoulder as well as internal bleeding. I am going through a great deal of pain every second that I am awake. However, I can still play the guitar and I will give everything I have to try to finish this tour and play every remaining show! I would just like to apologize in advance for not being able to move around or sing with my full power at all times and I hope the COB fans understand. What can I say? I'm jinxed! End of story. See you out there. | ” |
On 11 May, Children Of Bodom was forced to cancel its remaining live dates as part of the No Fear Energy Tour with Lamb of God due to injuries sustained by guitarist and front man Alexi Laiho. Laiho broke his shoulder when he was ejected from his tour bus bunk after the vehicle took a sharp turn.
Against recommendation, Laiho had decided to "bite the bullet" and remain on tour, wearing the arm in a sling to restrict movement at all times when he was not on stage. But after performing ten live dates with both the broken shoulder and internal bleeding, the toll became too much for the guitarist to endure and Children Of Bobom made the decision to cut its current tour short, placing Laiho's long-term health as its first priority.
“ | After the New York show (on May 9) I knew it was going to be over. During the 3rd song I started feeling like someone was stabbing me in my lungs, my heart and my ribs. I have played and sang for the last 10 days in violent pain which has only made my condition worsen. So, I decided to listen to everyone around me, who were telling me the best thing to do would be to go home and get some proper rest and give my shoulder some time to heal. | ” |
