Ill Nino Cancels First Six Shows of European Festival Tour

by Ryan Minic | Jul 28, 2010

Ill Nino have canceled the first six shows of their upcoming European festival tour. The band comments:

“It is with much regret that ILL NINO must cancel the 1st week of shows for our upcoming European tour. Our singer Christian was hospitalized last week, and after many tests, found out he has 6 herniated discs, and a pressured nerve against his spine.

Cris is going through major treatment and rehabilitation, to be able to get back to normal. We all wish Cristian a speedy recovery, as he can’t wait to get back and play for you all, as we all do!!!

After Cristian undergoes the necessary therapy for his back, we will now start our European Festival dates on Friday, August 6th, at the Wacken Festival, and finish on August 22nd.

We apologize for any incovenience, but it was unexpected and beyond our control.”
