Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Swedish metallers IN FLAMES have released the following statement:

“It is with huge regret that today with immediate effect IN FLAMES must cancel their current U.S. shows as part of the Rockstar [Energy Drink] Mayhem Festival and their own U.S. headline shows. But due to a serious terminal illness of one the band’s immediate family members, they feel they have no option.

“We have had the most amazing and fun times as part of the Rockstar Mayhem Festival and we are truly grateful for all the support the whole festival has shown

“We will be back at the start of 2012.

“Once again, our apologies.”
