Whitesnake cancels, the Judas Priest must go on at Nokia Thursday

by PegNews wire

Last night at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, Denver, Whitesnake had to cut their performance short due to Mr Coverdale experiencing considerable pain in his vocal chords. He was immediately taken to a specialist for examination. The specialist discovered that David was suffering from severe vocal fold edema and a left vocal fold vascular lesion. He was instructed to cancel all performances for the next two weeks & then undergo a further examination. The doctors told us we were fortunate this was caught at a stage where no apparent permanent damage has been caused. We therefore regretfully have to announce that Whitesnake will not be appearing on the remainder of the US tour with Judas Priest. Whitesnake sincerely regrets any disappointment this may cause.

Judas Priest and Pop Evil will still be performing at NOKIA Theatre at Grand Prairie tomorrow night. Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster outlets, online at www.ticketmaster.com or charge by phone at 800-745-3000. Refunds will be available at all points of purchase.
