MACHINE HEAD stop show in France after five songs
16 February 2016Earlier this evening (February 15th), MACHINE HEAD took the stage at Coop de Mai in Clermont Ferrand, France. After making his way through five songs, frontman Robb Flynn was forced to halt the concert. The band has since posted the following message online:
"Clermont Ferrand, as you know, the chest flu and hacking cough that Robb had, stopped any sound from coming out of his throat 5 songs into our set. We are very sorry that we were unable to finish tonight’s performance.
The doctor that visited Robb after the show instructed him not to sing for 4 days or his voice would not return for the tour. Unfortunately, what that means is Wednesday's show in Luxembourg is on a 'wait and see' basis. We will keep you posted as soon as we know more information."
Flynn has personally addressed the situation by saying, "Our friends in Clermont Ferrand, I have been battling a chest infection, or a chest flu, for a few days now. I can't stop coughing and I have basically blown my voice out on stage. It started happening yesterday, but it really... there's nothing coming out of my throat right now. I am so, so, so sorry that we had to stop, but I hope you understand."
