Alice in Chains cancelled their show last Thursday night, May 8th, at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut after drummer Sean Kinney suffered a “non-life-threatening medical emergency”.
Shortly before the show, the band issued a statement on social media announcing the cancellation:
“Following our soundcheck tonight at Mohegan Sun Arena, Sean experienced a non-life-threatening medical emergency. Unfortunately, we had to cancel tonight’s show. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.”
Alice in Chains has only played one show since 2023, at last year's Sick New World festival in Las Vegas, Nevada. This year, the band will perform at several festivals this month, in addition to numerous other headlining shows. The band is also scheduled to play at Black Sabbath's final show on July 5th in Birmingham, UK.
In a recent interview with Full Metal Jackie [via Blabbermouth ], vocalist William DuVall commented on shows and the band's subsequent return to the stage in 2025. In his response, the vocalist says he is "excited" to get back on stage.
“Well, we’re excited about these dates we have in May. We’re excited to get out there and see everyone again. We always talk and keep in touch regularly, so we’ll have to see what comes after May. I really wouldn’t want to say anything more than that. But yes, we’re thrilled about these shows. We can’t wait.”
