Motorhead regrets to announce that the U.S. tour scheduled for September/October 2004 is canceled due to a foot injury suffered by vocalist/bassist Lemmy.
Lemmy injured his foot on stage about month ago while touring in Europe.
Lemmy, ignoring the pain and against his European doctor’s recommendation, completed the few remaining shows on the Motorhead summer festival tour.
Since he was not able to rest his foot for a while, Lemmy’s injury worsened, and his U.S. doctor insisted in no uncertain terms that Lemmy stay off his foot for several weeks in order for it to heal properly.
Motorhead will return for a U.S. tour in March 2005. Lemmy, guitarist Philip Campbell and drummer Mikkey Dee hate to disappoint their fans but it is necessary for Lemmy’s injury to heal so that Motorhead can rock long into the future.
Motorhead’s latest album, Inferno, has earned the groundbreaking band the best reviews of its career. The Associated Press calls this Metal-Is/Sanctuary Records release their best album ever … a 12-track opus that packs as much power, punch and attitude as anything that’s ever been committed to tape.
