Sevendust Have Dropped Out Of Alter Bridge's Upcoming UK Arena Tour

Atlanta rockers Sevendust will no longer be hitting the UK with Alter Bridge and Shinedown.

With Alter Bridge's huge Walk The Sky UK tour fast approaching, unfortunately Sevendust have had to drop off the line-up due to illness.

The band were set to play the six-date arena tour alongside Shinedown, but drummer/vocalist Morgan Rose has sadly been hospitalised with an unspecified illness. While they will no longer be hitting the UK, however, their acoustic shows in the U.S. at the end of December are still going ahead currently.

"It is with a heavy heart we have to say that we will not be able to join our brothers in Alter Bridge and Shinedown on the upcoming UK tour dates on the #WalkTheSkyTour," Sevendust say in a statement.
