ORIGINAL STORY: FEB. 15, 3:53 EST
Bring Me The Horizon have canceled the remainder of their First Love World tour’s U.S. dates due to frontman Oli Sykes‘ health. The tour is in support of Bring Me The Horizon’s first No. 1 album in the UK, amo.
amo is the English act’s sixth full-length, and it’s taken a more pop approach. The band dropped it on Jan. 25 and the reactions have been on both sides of the spectrum. However, many people, including Waterparks’ Awsten Knight, stan the record.

The band made the announcement via Twitter after first just canceling their Saturday show.
“I’ve ruptured my right vocal chord, and I’ve been told if I don’t rest it immediately I’m in serious danger of doing permanent damage,” Sykes wrote on Twitter. “I’ve been trying my best to fulfil our commitments as I really really hate letting you guys down, not to mention these shows have been literally the most fun ever.”
“But at this point me singing would be the equivalent of a footballer running on a broken leg.. once again I’m so sorry, I hope you all understand.”
