Rockers KILLSWITCH ENGAGE were forced to postpone three European dates earlier this month (JAN07) after guitarist ADAM DUTKIEWICZ was taken to hospital for emergency surgery on his back.
The American band postponed their British concerts in London and Bristol, as well as a gig in Paris, France.
Killswitch Engage have apologised for postponing their Saturday (13JAN07) show at London's Brixton Academy just hours before they were due to take the stage. This date has now been rescheduled for 29 January (07).
A statement reads: "Following months of recuperation after previous back surgery for a herniated disc, Adam had been touring in the US with little to no incident, but after a week of shows in the UK, the guitarist found himself suffering increasing back pain, spending the time before and after shows lying flat with a bag of ice on his lower back, in an effort to continue touring.
"To make matters worse, vocalist HOWARD JONES was suffering from a chest infection.
"After a series of tests in hospital, Adam was informed his back injury was so severe, he could definitely not continue the European tour, nor fly home - and would in fact need urgent surgery.
"Killswitch Engage had no choice but to postpone their shows in London, Bristol, and Paris while a Plan B was devised. Naturally, the band was worried about Adam and extremely disappointed he would not be able to finish the tour."
