Band had to cancel the dates of the tour that were coming after the drummer suffered an unspecified “medical emergency
Less than a week after the Alice in Chains cancel the rest of the tour dates due to a “Medical emergency” unspecified involving the drummer Sean Kinneythe musician himself came to public to say that he is well.
He wrote on the band’s social networks:
“The good news is that I will be fine and I will survive, the bad news (for some of you?) Is that I will be fine and I will survive.”
Although it did not reveal exactly what happened (“I’m not particularly a fan of making my public health problems,” He said), Kinney acknowledged that Alice in Chains fans would be concerned about their well-being. What he was willing to share about the diagnosis was that he led him to go through his own version of the model of the five phases of the Swiss American psychiatrist’s mourning Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. He described the steps as going from “I am fine” (denial) until “This is a drug, but that’s fine” (acceptance).
He completed the post:
“I was really looking forward to going back to the stage and playing with the band again, and has been a difficult but necessary decision.”

Kinney also apologized to fans who bought tickets for the shows that were canceled.
“It has not gone unnoticed by me and the band that you spend money, make plans and change your agendas to see us, and it is deeply disappointing that this has happened.”
In the end, Kinney had to follow the advice of her doctors.
The drummer wrote:
“I came to the conclusion that doctors with many diplomas won with a lot of effort on the walls may know a little more about health than a musician with bright disks painted with wall on the wall. The demonstrations of love, concern and vows of improvement were extremely moving and much appreciated.”
In addition to the regular tour dates, Alice in Chains will also cease to perform at Sonic Temple and Welcome to Rockville festivals. The band is still climbing for the final show of Ozzy Osbournescheduled for July. “Sean’s health is our greatest priority at this time”, He said the band by announcing the cancellation of the presentations.
