King's X guitarist Ty Tabor has announced that he is to undergo treatment for an undisclosed illness.
As a result, the three-piece have cancelled a series of European dates which were due to begin in Munich, Germany on September 1.
Tabor posted a message to fans on the band's social media to explain his current situation.
It reads: "Hello everyone. I recently went in for some medical tests and discovered that I have an illness requiring vigilant monitoring. As a result, I will need to remain in the US while following medical advice and potential treatment. I know this is a disappointment for those who have waited so long for our European shows. I am sorry for this unavoidable setback. I want everyone to know that my prognosis is good. We plan to keep doing shows in the US so I can remain close to home and take less risks while dealing with this change in life. Thanks so much for all of your love and support."
