King Diamond Drops Off Hell & Heaven Festival Following Recent Surgery
King Diamond has cancelled his March 15 performance at the Hell & Heaven Metal Fest in Mexico City, Mexico. The frontman commented:
“I was recently advised by my doctor to have surgery done for an issue, which, if not done right away, would have prevented me from flying. We did not expect to have any complications after the surgery, but my healing is slower than anticipated, and I’ve been advised to ‘forego air travel until his healing stabilizes and additional risks are minimized.’ Unfortunately and regretfully, this means that we cannot make it this weekend to play at the Hell & Heaven Festival. We love playing in Mexico and can’t wait to get a chance to make this up to you. Til then, stay heavy.”
