Devildriver cancel Australian tour

Heavy metal men Devildriver have had to cancel their Australian tour due to battles with pneumonia.

In a statement released this morning, singer Dez FaFara said, "I've never cancelled a tour before. Ever. I have pneumonia and I'm restricted from flying for at least two weeks."

He went on to apologise to his Australian fans and promoters that were involved before assuring us "we'll make it up to you on the next tour".

FaFara had only recently completed an Australian tour with his other group Coal Chamber as part of the massive Soundwave Festival. As of yet there is no word if touring partners Six Feet Under and Darkest Hour will still make it to Australia.

Those that bought tickets can have them refunded from the place of purchase.
