Robb Flynn was diagnosed with a lung infection a few days ago. Being ever the showman, he attempted to power through the illness and keep playing. The infection, which caused fits of coughing, proved too much in Pittsburg, last night. Halfway through the Machine Head set last night, Flynn's throat gave out and he absolutely couldn't continue.
Flynn posted the below video shortly after walking off stage, apologizing to the entire audience. The band announced that tonight's show (Feb. 16th) in Cleveland has been postponed, and the band is hoping to reschedule the show towards the end of the tour.
Here are the remaining dates:
