Due to a "medical emergency" within the band, Mayhem's North American leg of their 40th anniversary tour — scheduled to kick off next week with a pair of Canadian shows at Montreal's Olympia and the Concert Hall in Toronto — has been cancelled.

While the nature of the medical issue, as well as which member of the group is afflicted by it, remains unknown, it requires "immediate surgery," followed by a "prolonged recovery period" post-op.

"Fret not, American and Canadian legion, as Mayhem will have something coming up next year that will make this up to those of you who have been disappointed by this news," the black metal legends wrote on the social media post announcing the cancellation.
