King Diamond Cancels Four Shows After Contracting Strep Throat

King Diamond has revealed that he is currently battling strep throat. As a result, the frontman has cancelled his immediate shows in Dunaújváros, Hungary, Vienna, Austria, Bucharest, Romania, and Sofia, Bulgaria.

Diamond commented:

“Hello everyone

King Diamond here. As you may know by now, I was diagnosed with Strep Throat this past Saturday, and told to rest a certain amount of Days.

As I have had experience with Strep Throat before, I believe that with the medicine prescribed by the doctor and my own knowledge, I can be back singing before the estimated day.

By cutting my recuperation from suggested 14 days to 6, which I feel might work in this case, we could be back performing this Thursday, July 10 in Athens, Greece.

Send me a Devil’s prayer or two and I shall do my utmost for this to happen.

Stay Heavy,

– King Diamond”
