Kerrang! has announced that Sum 41 have pulled out of the Kerrang! Tour Sponsored By Relentless Energy Drink which was due to begin on 4th February. The bad news is due to a back injury sustained by front man Deryck Whibley.
He says: "I feel really terrible about letting down the fans. 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."
The news is that The Blackout are stepping in and will join New Found Glory, letlive. and While She Sleeps on the tour.
