Rage Against The Machine is canceling their remaining 2022 United Kingdom and Europe concerts following frontman Zach de la Rocha's recent medical advice to not pursue touring.
Meanwhile, the remaining United States tour dates for 2022 and 2023 will still push through.
Zach de la Rocha injured his leg mid-performance in a concert in Chicago last July.
Rage Against The Machine UK, Europe Concerts Canceled
Taking to Instagram, rock band Rage Against The Machine has announced that they would be canceling the remainder of their United Kingdom and Europe concerts this 2022.
The three dates in United Kingdom, including Edinburgh, Leeds, and Reading, will be canceled too.
Concerts in Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Austria, Poland, Croatia, and the Czech Republic are all canceled too.
According to their press release, the European and United Kingdom leg of the Rage Against The Machine tour would not proceed after frontman Zach de la Rocha was advised medically against touring.
After finishing the last three shows in Madison Square Garden in New York City on August 11, 12, and 14, the band, including de la Rocha will be taking a break.
Per the band, the rigorous flights, travel time, and schedule to the Europe and UK would simply be "too much" of a risk for de la Rocha's complete recovery.
"We are so sorry to all our fans who have waited years to see us and hope to Rage against soon," the statement reads.
Rage Against The Machine UK and Europe concert ticketholders are advised to contact their respective point of purchase for more refund guidelines for any of their headline shows.
