Slash's all-star blues tour kicked off earlier this month
Slash's touring blues festival has pulled out of four upcoming shows. The S.E.R.P.E.N.T tour, which finds the Guns N' Roses man appearing alongside a host of guest musicians in support of his recent Orgy Of The Damned album, kicked off earlier this month.
"Due to unforeseen circ*mstances, the S.E.R.P.E.N.T tour regrettably has to cancel the below performances," reads a short statement. "Refunds will be available at points of purchase."
The four affected shows are this evening's performance (July 22) at the PNC Pavilion at Riverbend in Cincinnati, OH, and the three following dates in Interlochen, MI, Huber Heights, OH and Windsor, ON, Canada.
Slash later took to Instagram to confirm the death of his stepdaughter, Lucy-Bleu Knight, and asked for his family's privacy to be respected.
The tour will resume on July 28 at the Toronto Budweiser Stage in Ontario, Canada, and wrap up at the Texas Trust CU Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas, on August 17. Full dates below.
Earlier this month, Slash released a video of a live performance of The Temptation's classic Papa Was A Rolling Stone, filmed at the Gibson Garage in Nashville, The footage features his current solo band, which includes Tash Neal on vocals and guitar, Michael Jerome on drums, Johnny Griparic on bass and Teddy “Zigzag” Andreadis on keyboards.
