Alice in Chains abruptly canceled their performance and issued a statement on social media saying that Kinney had \u201dexperienced a non-life-threatening medical emergency\u201d during soundcheck. At the time, no other shows seemed immediately at risk, but in an announcement today the band confirmed that their entire tour was being scrapped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter careful consideration and following the advice of medical professionals, we have made the decision to cancel our upcoming festival performances and the Alice in Chains headline shows,\u201d the rockers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJcn7lWzVtj\/\" target=\"_blank\">wrote in part<\/a>. \u201cWhile we were all eager to return to the stage, Sean\u2019s health is our top priority at this moment. Although the issue requires immediate attention, his long-term prognosis is positive. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and support during this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Which Alice in Chains Shows Have Been Canceled?<\/h3>\n<p>The cancellation has affected almost all of Alice in Chains\u2019 scheduled 2025 concerts.
