AceShowbiz - Bring Me The Horizon have cancelled the remaining dates on their U.S. tour to allow singer Oliver Sykes to recover from a vocal cord rupture.

Sykes shared the bad news via social media on Friday, February 15, hours before the group was scheduled to hit the stage for a show in Phoenix, Arizona.

"I'm gutted to announce we have to cancel the remainder of our American tour," he wrote. "I've ruptured my right vocal chord (sic), and I've been told if I don't rest it immediately I'm in serious danger of doing permanent damage."
