Sum 41 Australia Tour Nixed Amid Deryck Whibley Hospitalization

The Canadian punk-rockers of Sum 41 had to call-off their Australian tour while frontman Deryck Whibley recovers from pneumonia.

The band took to social media on Thursday, noting that they would have to cancel their Australian shows on advice from Whibley’s doctors, who deemed him unwell to perform. The shows were set to take place from December 4 to 12, stopping in Paddington, Bowen Hills, Hindmarsh, and Richmond. They also had to rescind their headlining slot at Good Things Festival.

“We were beyond excited to deliver this tour from December 4 — December 12, and connect with our Aussie fans once more,” Sum 41 said in a statement. “Now that we’re here though, and under the guidance and direction of multiple Australian doctors, it’s clear that Deryck is too unwell to perform. We understand and appreciate your disappointment — we’re gutted too.”
