Tonight Alive Cancel US Headlining Shows; Drummer Matt Best Diagnosed with Tendonitis

Tonight Alive have been forced to cancel their upcoming headlining shows in Boise, ID and Jacksonville, FL due to drummer Matt Best being diagnosed with tendonitis and tears within the ligaments and cartilage of his wrist.

Being the trooper that he is, Matt is braving through the severe pain each night so the band can continue their current US tour with All Time Low.

"Hey guys,

I’m really sorry to say that we have to cancel the upcoming Boise, ID and Jacksonville, FL headline shows.

I was recently diagnosed with tendinosis and tears within the TFCC (ligaments and cartilage) of my wrist during Soundwave 2015. Although it’s been very painful to play, I’ve been getting through the album recording and All Time Low shows with a lot of painkillers and 24/7 care but it’s been getting harder and I’m having more trouble than I thought. Right now we’ve realized that there is just no way I would be able to play a full headline show. The All Time Low support shows are 30 minutes long and I’m only just about getting through them. I’m in need of surgery as soon as I get back to Australia, so I’ll be fit and ready to go on the next tour providing the rehab goes well. We really hate to cancel any shows and we promise to come back to Boise and Jacksonville just as soon as we can. I'm sorry for any inconveniences that may occur from this.

Thank you for all your support and understanding,

Matty"
