Currently at the end of their Abigail U.S. tour, King Diamond have been forced to announce the cancellation of their Tulsa, Oklahoma show. Unfortunately, the band didn't perform yesterday because frontman King Diamond is suffering from a severe case of acute laryngitis. The last two shows of the tour are Houston and Dallas and King Diamond won't be able to perform at the House of Blues this Friday the 4th of December neither.

The band explained: "We are sorry to have to announce the cancellation of the Tulsa, Oklahoma show. King is suffering from a severe case of acute laryngitis. He was examined by a doctor this afternoon, and during the exam an anesthetic was used together with a laryngoscope. Not long after that, he had an extreme sensitivity reaction to the anesthetic no one had a chance to foresee, which he is still recovering from. For ticket refunds, please contact your place of purchase."

About the Houston cancellation: "Houston, we are very sorry to inform you that there is unfortunately no chance for King Diamond to perform at the House of Blues this Friday the 4th of December, due to the acute laryngitis, which caused the cancellation in Oklahoma this Tuesday. An unforeseen effect of the anesthetic used in the examination this past Monday has delayed the healing process. King has for once been silent, trying his damnedest to bring enough vocal chords back to complete the rest of the tour. There is still hope for Dallas on Saturday, but do keep an eye on our Facebook just in case. Again, Houston, we are very very sorry. You know how much we love playing for you."
