The band initially only cancelled two shows, which would have taken place on January 20th in Pittsburgh and also on January 21st in Albany, New York, before pulling out of all the tour's remaining dates through to February 14th.

"I need to take the proper time to assess the severity of my injury and apologize for any disappointment this has caused," the lead singer stated before things took a turn for the worse. "I look forward to seeing you all again soon."

This tour is in support of the band's sixth studio album 'The Hunting Party,' which saw Linkin Park return to their heavier style of music. "We didn't make the heaviest record of all time," multi-instrumentalist Mike Shinoda told Rolling Stone in April 2014. "We made a really loud and aggressive Linkin Park record, maybe the loudest we've made."
