Jerry Cantrell’s Tour Announcement Follows Alice in Chains’ Tour Cancellation
Released last October, I Want Blood marked Cantrell’s fourth solo album and first since 2021’s Brighten. While that album featured sunny melodies and country-like guitars, I Want Blood is a markedly heavier and darker affair.
“This record is a serious piece of work. It’s a motherfucker,” Cantrell said of his latest album. “It’s hard, no doubt, and completely unlike Brighten. And that’s what you want, to end up in a different place. There’s a confidence to this album. I think it’s some of my best songwriting and playing, and certainly some of my best singing.”
Alice in Chains, meanwhile, just canceled their 2025 tour dates so drummer Sean Kinney could deal with an undisclosed health issue. “While we were all eager to return to the stage, Sean’s health is our top priority at this moment,” the band said in a statement. “Although the issue requires immediate attention, his long-term prognosis is positive.”
