Earlier today, we learned that Floor Jansen will open Metallica's April 29 show at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands in place of Five Finger Death Punch. At the time, Metallica only stated that the switch was due to an "unforeseen circumstance" within the Five Finger Death Punch camp. Turns out vocalist Ivan Moody will be recovering from surgery at that time, and Five Finger Death Punch will rejoin the tour at the Stade De France in Paris, France on May 19.
"As many of you know, Ivan recently had surgery to correct an acute hernia injury," said Five Finger Death Punch of the switch. "The recovery proved more challenging than initially thought and on the advice of his doctors, Ivan and Five Finger Death Punch will not be able to perform the show in Amsterdam with Metallica. 5FDP will perform ALL subsequent scheduled dates. See you in Paris!"
We wish Moody all the best with his surgery. Catch Metallica and their merry band of openers at one of their seemingly infinite tour dates below. Get tickets here.
