In early January, Corey Taylor canceled his North American touring that was due to begin on February 3rd in Toronto, Ontario.
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."
