Newsted, the band lead by former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, have announced they will be missing several upcoming Gigantour appearances. Check out a statement released by Jason Newsted below after the jump.
Hey friends…I’d been feeling a bit under the weather while performing the most recent Gigantour shows so I went to the Dr. on my day off today & I was diagnosed with walking pneumonia!!! So under doctor’s orders, I’m taking a week to rebuild…my apologies to our Canadian brothers & sisters in regions where we will not be appearing this week. I’m gonna work on keeping me alive so together we can keep the metal alive!!!! Cheers to all!! Jason
