Fans were left stunned and disappointed after legendary rock band, Alice in Chains, suddenly canceled their upcoming tour shows after their drummer, Sean Kinney, suffered some kind of medical emergency.
The decision was apparently made very abruptly, as people in Connecticut showed up for a concert at Mohegan Sun Casino on May 8 just an hour before the performance.
The band shared this message on their Twitter account, and based on social media posts from concert-goers, something similar was also shared on screens at the venue.
After our soundcheck this evening at the Mohegan Sun Arena, Sean experienced a non-life-threatening medical emergency. We unfortunately have to cancel tonight’s show. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.

A fellow drummer added, "Love to see a band that respects its members enough to put the most important things first. Respect. Best wishes to Sean ❤️"
And another loyal fan said, "Sean, we are all thinking of you! Please take good care and listen to the doctors! The massive Chainers worldwide have your back! Lots of Love & positive vibes coming your way ?❤️?"
