SUM 41 have been forced to pull out of the upcoming Kerrang!
Tour, which visits Southampton Guildhall on February 7.
Frontman Deryck Whibley has been suffering from a back injury and will not be well enough to perform on the 11-date UK and Ireland tour.
“I feel really terrible about letting down the fans,” says Deryck.
“I injured my back and the doctors are saying that I could be in a wheelchair. So, as much as I wanted to be able to do it, I’ve got to look at reality, and for the first time I’ve got to listen to somebody else and not just myself.
“We’re all really upset about this; we’ve had such a great relationship with our UK fans. We were really looking forward to this tour.”
They will be replaced by The Blackout who join New Found Glory, letlive and While She Sleeps.
