Opeth ended up canceling their November 8 show at the Royal Center in Bogotá, Colombia. The date was scrapped after Mikael Åkerfeldt fell ill.
The band commented:
“Colombian brothers and sisters,
It is with great regret that we must announce the cancellation of today’s show in Bogotá.
Our frontman, Mikael, has come down with a virus; he is suffering from a fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. We even attempted a soundcheck, but it proved impossible to get through even a single song. A doctor has also examined him and confirmed that it is indeed a virus.
We are truly sorry that we cannot perform this concert, but we are only human. Our hope now is for Mikael to recover quickly so that we can go on to play the final show of the tour in Mexico.
Thank you for your understanding and for your unwavering support.”
