This is a major bummer for anyone that thought they were going to see King Diamond in next couple of days, but it’s just been announced that three upcoming shows have been cancelled.
According to a post on social media, tonight’s King Diamond show in Calgary, Sunday night’s show in Portland, Oregon, and Monday night’s show in Seattle have been axed for an undisclosed reason. Anyone that had tickets to those shows should seek out refunds at the point of purchase.
The official statement from King Diamond is as follows:
“Hello everyone,
“King Diamond here.
“It is with a heavy heart to inform you that tonight’s show in Calgary is cancelled along with Portland and Seattle. This is something that we do not take lightly and will make this up to you in the future.
“The St Lucifer’s Hospital Tour will pick back in Oakland, CA on Nov. 27th through Dec. 10th in Mexico City.
“For those affected by the cancelled shows, tickets will be refunded by point of purchase. (Not by 3rd party seller)
“Stay Heavy.”
This is the second time this week that King Diamond had to cancel shows, with Wednesday’s show in Edmonton and last night’s show in Saskatchewan also getting nixed for “unforeseen circumstances.”
At least with the previous two cancellations, that announcement came days in advance so people could be let down a little easier. The fact that these cancelations happened so suddenly makes me wonder what the hell happened. I hope everyone’s okay and that it was just a logistical issue or something similar.
There will still be a few dates remaining before the tour comes to an end, so be sure to check out the list of dates below and decide whether you want to roll the dice on if they’ll happen or not.
