The decision to cancel the 'End Of The World' Tour is made since Shadows is still too ill to continue the tour.

AceShowbiz - Rockers Avenged Sevenfold have cancelled their upcoming tour with "Prophets of Rage" to allow frontman M. Shadows time to recover from a vocal injury.

The "End Of The World" Tour was scheduled to kick off on Sunday, July 22 in Massachusetts, but Shadows is still "voiceless" after falling ill on tour in Europe.

"There is no good way to start out a note containing bad news, but here it is," he tells fans in a statement. "After Europe, I came down with a terrible viral infection that rendered me voiceless. I tried my best to take care of the situation with voice rest, medication and doctor visits, but the voice was only getting worse.

"After a week of steroids, the swelling went down enough to see the cause of the problem. A blood blister has formed on my vocal folds and is preventing them from vibrating properly. In short, I can't sing anything at the moment and the more I attempt to, the more damage is being done. Luckily, as of now, the doctors feel that three months of no singing and voice rest should get my chords back on track.

"Unfortunately, this means we will have to cancel all tour dates at the moment. Decisions like this weigh on me very heavily. It's a tour I was looking forward to very much. I want to apologize to the fans who have spent their time and money booking travel arrangements and accommodations. I also want to apologize to our crew and the other bands who were depending on this tour. None of these things are lost on me.

Shadows previously underwent vocal cord surgery 15 years ago, and later confessed it took him "a couple of years" to rebuild the strength in his voice.
