Fans express concern and support as iconic rock band halts tour to prioritize health of drummer Sean Kinney.

In a shocking and unexpected turn, legendary rock band Alice in Chains has canceled their current tour following a medical emergency involving longtime drummer Sean Kinney. The announcement came just moments before the band was set to take the stage at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut on May 8, leaving fans stunned and concerned.

According to attendees, the cancellation was announced at the venue only about an hour before the show. A similar message was later posted on the band’s official social media platforms, citing the emergency without revealing further details.

The next day, May 9, the band issued a follow-up statement via Instagram, confirming that the remainder of the tour has been canceled as well. The news sparked an outpouring of love and support from fans and fellow musicians alike.

One fan commented, "Wishing this legendary drummer a speedy recovery!" while another added, "Sean, we are all thinking of you! Please take care and listen to the doctors!"

Famed rocker Sammy Hagar also chimed in, offering heartfelt words: "So sorry to hear this from my dear friends, prayers and much love coming your way, Sean."

Fellow drummers and fans alike praised the band’s decision to prioritize Kinney’s health, with one remarking, "Love to see a band that respects its members enough to put the most important things first. Respect."

The canceled performance would have marked Alice in Chains’ first full concert since 2024, making the last-minute announcement all the more disheartening for concert-goers who had been eagerly anticipating the event.

At this time, no specific information has been released regarding the nature of Kinney’s condition, and the band has asked for privacy as he focuses on recovery.

As the rock community waits for updates, the message from fans is clear: health comes first, and Sean Kinney has their full support.
