Iero revealed via his Instagram post that after suffering from a “pretty nasty case of laryngitis and a brutal sinus infection,” he was advised not to fly and to cancel his next three shows in Mexico.
You can read the full post below.
“dear friends, i am beyond gutted to have to break this news to you… after our show in São Paolo i started to feel a bit under the weather but thought i could kick it with some vitamins and a little rest. however, i was wrong and it progressed into a pretty nasty case of laryngitis and a brutal sinus infection. after two flights i made it to mexico city and was able to see a doctor here, but he informed me that i should not fly again for at least a day and half and that we should postpone the remaining shows. I do not take postponing shows lightly, i know that when we book a gig and you buy a ticket that is an agreement between us that i have every intention of following through with. however, ever since my accident in sydney my body reacts in different ways and i unfortunately am not able to recover as quickly as i once did. this particular case really knocked me out and i truly apologize but i have to listen to my body and what the doctors are telling me. i promise to get back out to Mexico as soon as humanly possible and make it up to all of you. i’m so sorry this happened and i hope you can understand. ?xofrnk
* All tickets purchased for the Monterrey, Mexico City, & Guadalajara shows will be be either refundable or redeemable for the make up shows *”
