We're very sorry to tell you that Avenged Sevenfold will not be performing at Reading today, August 24.  As many of you know, the band had to shorten their set at Leeds Friday due to vocal strain. Since then, Matt's doctors in the United Kingdom and Los Angeles have both advised him that he must rest his voice and cannot perform.

Thankfully there are no long term problems and with proper rest, Matt will return to the road shortly. The band toured all summer with Iron Maiden throughout Europe and the UK. They returned home August 1, but because they wanted to play Reading and Leeds very much, they returned this week for the festival.  They were blown away by the number of fans who came to see them play at Leeds. The band is still in England now and is extremely disappointed that they can't play a show they have been looking forward to for a long time.

A7X will return to the United Kingdom at the beginning of 09.

Matt will post a personal message shortly but we wanted to get you the news immediately.

i'm sure i speak for all Avenged fans when i say that if Matt needs to rest those amazing vocal chords to ensure a great musical future, a cancelled concert is not a big deal. i mean, it sucks ass that the fans didn't get to see you live, but i'm sure each and every one of them will understand. and if they don't, they're not the kind of fans you need. take care, matt, and get well soon!

PS - in response to Rich's comment (if you can even call it that) - dude, this is, like, a serious issue, and all you can respond with is "first!" - that's fucking lame.

No need to worry.
All we want are great shows.
And if that means we have to wait, then so be it.

We love you guys.
Keep it up.
Get better Matt.
We'll wait as long as you need.

Dude it's a bit shitty that you care more about being first to comment than about Matt's voice and the canceled performance.

Get well soon Matt, can't wait for you to be back in the UK.
