Alice In Chains was forced to cancel its concert last night (Thursday, May 8th), the kickoff of their current tour at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. This after drummer Sean Kinney suffered “a non-life-threatening medical emergency.” The show was canceled moments before the doors were to open via signs at the venue and post by the band. The statement can be read below. Refunds are available at the point of purchase. The band has several headline shows and festival dates booked this month including the MMRBQ in Camden, New Jersey (May 10), Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio (May 11) and Welcome To Rockville in Daytona Beach, Florida (May 16). They have also lined up several other headlining shows, in Nashville, Tennessee (May 13) and Dothan, Alabama (May 15). Alice In Chains is also on the bill for the final Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne show on July 5 in Birmingham, United Kingdom.

“After our soundcheck this evening at the Mohegan Sun Arena, Sean experienced a non-life-threatening medical emergency. We unfortunately have to cancel tonight’s show. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.”
