Stone Temple Pilots have canceled their upcoming acoustic tour after lead singer Jeff Gutt suffered what was described as a “severely herniated disc.”
A statement from the band said, “Doctors have advised immediate surgery, along with several weeks of recovery time and physical therapy. Gutt is expected to make a full recovery, and the band hopes to reschedule the acoustic tour later this year.” Refunds are available at the point of purchase.
The 15-date tour was set to begin on February 5th in Vancouver, British Columbia. Two tours scheduled for later in the year — an Australian trek with Bush and Live and a North American summer jaunt opening for Nickelback — remain on schedule.
The band’s tour was in support of their acoustic album Perdida, out February 7th. The LP is Stone Temple Pilots’ second with Gutt, who they hired in 2018 to succeed Scott Weiland and Chester Bennington after those singers’ deaths.
