Code Orange Cancel Planned Tour Due to Guitarist’s Health Scare
Some disappointing and worrying news coming out of the Code Orange camp today, as the band announced that a serious health issue being experienced by someone within their ranks has forced them to cancel their upcoming headlining North American tour.
According to an official statement from the band, guitarist Dominic Landolina has been dealing with a serious health problem that’s now affecting his ability to “play, perform, and live comfortably.” The news means their tour with Gel, Teenage Wrist, Soul Blind, Spy and Gridiron that was set to start next month is off the table, along with their planned appearance on the ShipRocked cruise and the Pulp Summer Slam.
“It pains us deeply to announce that we are canceling our upcoming headline tour, as well as the ShipRocked cruise / Pulp Summer Slam around it. Our guitarist Dom has been dealing with serious health issues over the past year that have led to his inability to play, perform and live comfortably. While he gritted through our fall performances, his issues were exasperated by them.
“We wanted to give him proper time to heal before making a group decision, and were very hopeful he would be able to return by February. Ultimately its been determined that he is unable to play guitar at this time. We take this decision very seriously, and this is the last way we intended to start this era.
“We have been together since we were teenagers, have ridden in vans and slept on floors for the majority of our career. No time period has been as difficult for us as the last few years. We are now focused on regaining our strength. We will be back with more stability and in full force. Thank you for the continued love and respect. Please support the amazing Gel, Teenage Wrist, Soul Blind, Spy and Gridiron on whatever they choose to do. Refunds are available at point of purchase.”
Talk about a massive bummer. And while it sucks for those that wanted to see these shows live, it’s even more important that we point out that the most important thing is that Landolina get all the help and time he needs to heal. That’s the most important thing right now.
So if you’ve got tickets to any of the shows below, be sure to reach out to get a refund if you’re so inclined. We want to wish Landolina a speedy recovery.
