Rage Against The Machine cancel upcoming European tour

After frontman Zack de la Rocha injured his leg last month during Rage Against The Machine‘s U.S. leg of their tour, he has been performing either seated or on a scooter to help him move about the stage.

But now the band has decided to let him heal properly, and have cancelled their UK and European upcoming tour dates.

They have released the following statement via social media:

“Per medical guidance, Zack de la Rocha has been advised that the August and September 2022 UK and European leg of the Rage Against The Machine tour cannot proceed. It is with great disappointment that we announce this cancellation.

Rage Against The Machine will be finishing their run at Madison Square Garden on August 11, 12 & 14 and then Zack must return home for rest and rehabilitation. The flights, travel time, and rigorous schedule in the UK and Europe are simply too much of a risk for a complete recovery.

We are so sorry to all of our fans who have waited years to see us and hope to Rage again soon.”
