Shinedown has been touring throughout 2022 and many fans didn't expect their recent announcement as they revealed that they won't be continuing their scheduled shows in Europe.
Sharing their official statement online, the band explained that they are not the type of people who would cancel shows, and throughout their 20-year career, they only postponed twice.
However, it's heartbreaking for them to announce that they will not push through with their shows in Europe. The main reason behind their decision is because of the "economic and logistical side of touring" which is heavy for them that's why it's not currently feasible.

"With that being said, we've made this difficult yet necessary decision. We can't put into words how much it sucks to have to cancel shows," they shared. (via 103 GBF Rocks)
Shinedown is looking forward to performing in several cities across the continent soon as their goal has always been playing there because many fans have been anticipating their appearance.
The band was supposed to kick off their European leg in Brussels, Belgium, on November 7. Some of the canceled tours are in Paris, Berlin, Tilburg, Offenbach, Milan, Copenhagen, Oslo, Warsaw, Prague, Munich, Stockholm, and many more.
They were set to end their show in Helsinki, Finland, on December 9.
