Nickelback have cut their current US tour short so that frontman Chad Kroeger can have throat surgery.
The band cancelled some shows last week after he experienced some voice problems. Further investigation revealed an operable cyst in his voice box.
He’s been ordered to rest ahead of surgery next month, and he’s expected to have made a full recovery in time for Nickelback’s European dates.
Kroeger says: “I’m sorry I have to interrupt the party this summer – and I’m definitely not thrilled with the prospect of being silent for weeks to come, when I could be out there playing for our fans.
“I’m relying on my doctor to help get my voice back in good form as quickly as possible.”
They released eighth album No Fixed Address last year.
