Pop punk stars Sum 41 have been forced to cancel the remaining dates of Warped Tour due to injuries sustained by their singer.
Deryck Whibley was attacked in a bar in Japan whilst the band completed the Japanese leg of Warped tour, and has a slipped disc in his back. Unfortunately Whibley's condition has not improved, and the band has decided to take a break whilst he recovers.
"Being a part of the Warped Tour this summer meant a lot to us. We haven't toured in two years and the bands, the crowds and the entire Warped Tour crew have been amazing to us," said drummer Steve Jocz, "we were excited to be back in front of our fans and are very disappointed that we have to pull off the tour. We know that it would be more frustrating for the fans if we can't give it our all."
"Deryck is doing everything he can to get himself better and we're there for him."
Whibley is expected to make a full recovery with the necessary treatment and rest. The band will be back out on the road again in Europe at the end of August.
