Frank Iero Postpones Tour Dates Due To Health Concerns

Frank Iero and his new band, the Future Violents, had their South America tour cut short when their band leader came down with "a pretty nasty case of laryngitis and a brutal sinus infection."

The former My Chemical Romance guitarist wrote a lengthy note to fans on Instagram, while two of his band members explained that they would have to postpone their Mexico tour dates because a local doctor advised Frank not to fly for a few days.

"dear frends, i am beyond gutted to have to break this news to you... after our show in São Paolo i started to feel a bit under the weather but thought i could kick it with some vitamins and a little rest. however, i was wrong and it progressed into a pretty nasty case of laryngitis and a brutal sinus infection," Frank explained in the message. "after two flights i made it to mexico city and was able to see a doctor here, but he informed me that i should not fly again for at least a day and half and that we should postpone the remaining shows."

"I do not take postponing shows lightly, i know that when we book a gig and you buy a ticket that is an agreement between us that i have every intention of following through with," he continued. "however, ever since my accident in sydney my body reacts in different ways and i unfortunately am not able to recover as quickly as i once did. this particular case really knocked me out and i truly apologize but i have to listen to my body and what the doctors are telling me. i promise to get back out to Mexico as soon as humanly possible and make it up to all of you. i’m so sorry this happened and i hope you can understand. 🖤xofrnk"
