Frank Iero Cancels Shows Due To Laryngitis And "A Brutal Sinus Infection"

Frank Iero has had to cancel his upcoming tour dates in Mexico due to laryngitis and a "brutal" sinus infection.

In a message to fans on social media, the musician expressed how upset he was to cancel the shows – but that since his serious road accident in Sydney, Australia in October 2016, his body unfortunately isn't able to recover from illness as quickly as it once was.

Read Frank's statement below:

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. 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. 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

* All tickets purchased for the Monterrey, Mexico City, & Guadalajara shows will be be either refundable or redeemable for the make up shows *

Get well soon, sir!
