Slipknot Drummer Joey Jordison Is Hospitalised

Slipknot's drummer Joey Jordison has been hospitalised, forcing the Iowa metal act to cancel their show at the White River Ampitheater in Seattle last night.

A brief statement on their website reads: “Tonight's show in Seattle was canceled as Joey Jordison was taken to the hospital for health reasons.

“No further shows will be canceled. We anticipate Joey making a full recovery and continuing the tour in Kennewick, WA on Sunday.”

As reported earlier, Oasis have been forced to cancel their headline slot at V Festival Chelmsord tonight after singer Liam Gallagher was struck down with viral laryngitis.
