The Used cancel upcoming touring plans due to singer's surgery

Contributed by mnx12. Posted on Thursday, June 28, 2007 at 12:00 AM (EDT)

The Used will be canceling all of their tourdates throughout June and July this summer, including their stint on the Vans Warped Tour. The reason for the sudden cancelation is a node that has developed on singer Bert McCracken's vocal folds. The singer is expected to make a full recovery "in about five weeks."

The band is expecting to return to touring in September. The band released Lies for the Liars earlier this year.

The lack of sympathy on this board is sad. You people go on as normal people yet you are horrible people.

Who cares if you don't like this band but wishing cancer? are you serious? Grow up.

That sucks, I'm not going to Warped tour because I'll be out of town, but I wouldn't have minded seeing them considering how weak the line-up is already.

This wasn't predictable at all.

Dude has been throat-screaming since that bands inception while also singing way higher than his actual range, of course he is going to develop a node.
