Rage Against The Machine Cancel 2023 Tour
Rage Against the Machine announced yesterday that their 2023 tour is canceled. Singer Zack de la Rocha needs more time to heal and recuperate from an injury that happened in July.
Zack said in a statement, quote, "I have a severe tear in my left Achilles tendon and only 8% of my tendon was left intact. And even that was severely compromised . . .
"It's not simply a question of being able to perform again, but extends to basic functionality going forward. You have all waited so patiently to see us and that is never lost on me. I never take that for granted. For you I have the ultimate gratitude and respect."
If you bought tickets from Ticketmaster or AXS, you'll be refunded within 30 days or so.

Coldplay’s “Music of the Spheres” tour has been postponed because the band’s frontman Chris Martin is in sick bay. The band announced they have to postpone eight Brazilian shows because Chris is battling a lung infection.
