A broken foot incurred during a video shoot by Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman has forced the band to postpone their upcoming tour. The New Jersey tech-metal band was heading out in support of their forthcoming full length album, “Ire Works.” Weinman needs four to six weeks to fully recover.
“Unfortunately do to a freak accident during our video shoot I managed to break my foot pretty severely,” Weinman said in a statement. “After two doctor’s visits, it is clear that we will have to postpone our US and European tour until a later date. The good news is that we’re already rescheduling the North American tour, which will now include Canada and the USA cities that we were missing like Detroit, Austin, Portland and Seattle.”
The band’s first preview track and album opener, “Fix Your Face,” is currently on the band’s MySpace page. “Ire Works” is set to be released Nov. 13 in North America.
