Avenged Sevenfold postpone 2025 South American tour: “There’s just no way I can sing like this”
September 27, 2025
Avenged Sevenfold have postponed their South American tour at the very last minute due to a vocal injury suffered by singer M Shadows [44]. Despite being due to kick off their tour in Buenos Aires on September 25th, the band took to social media to share the unfortunate news on September 26th, a day after the first postponed show. The post on X was accompanied by a caption that began, “With a heavy heart, and regretfully, we have to announce that due to a specific condition called a vocal fold hematoma, we have made the necessary decision to push our tour to early next year.” After finding a doctor to talk to in Argentina, the singer got his throat scoped. He uncovered that he has a “hematoma on my left vocal fold, which is the same injury I had in 2017. In 2017, though, I decided to keep singing through it. Took a bunch of pills, and [it] ended up resulting in surgery.” Despite the logistical nightmare that will ensue, Shadows admitted that there’s “just no way I can sing like this.” As a result, the seven shows have all been rescheduled for January 2026.

Beloved Country Music Star, 60, Cancels All Shows As Cancer Has ‘Taken a Turn’
September 24, 2025
Mavericks frontman Raul Malo has been courageously battling stage 4 colon cancer, but the road to recovery has been challenging. On Wednesday, September 24, Malo shared a tough update with his fans: due to his ongoing health issues, the band will be canceling all remaining concerts for the year. “I want to update you all on my health, as things have taken a turn,” Malo wrote to his followers on Instagram. He revealed that he has developed leptomeningeal disease (LMD) — a serious condition that occurs when cancer cells invade the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. “As it goes with cancer, it’s a very unpredictable and indiscriminatory disease. I’ve developed something called LMD, which stands for ‘get this sh-t out of my head.’” Malo explained that while this diagnosis is serious, he is focusing on rest and recovery as he continues his treatment. “It’s time to take your words to heart of resting & recovering, so that’s what I’m going to do,” he wrote. Since his original diagnosis, The Mavericks have continued to tour, but now, the band has announced that all remaining concerts scheduled for 2025 will be canceled.
Researcher’s Note - The Mavericks- February 7, 2021: We are getting closer and closer to getting back to work! Please, please let’s do this! Our industry has been gutted by this pandemic [sic]. It’s not just the musicians that have gone without work...bus drivers, crews, and techs are some of the people in musicians’ teams that have not had a paycheck in over a year. It’s not just musicians’ camps that have suffered. For a show night a venue alone employs sound and light techs, security, vendors, janitors, drivers, parking attendants, caterers, and the list goes on and on. Right now there’s a lot of misinformation, apprehension, and fear when it comes to this vaccine [sic]. Please help me in encouraging people to take this. It is safe! If we want to get back to packing venues so that we can experience live music again this is how we do it. We can’t waste any more time. Please help me encourage others to do this...thank you, Raul Malo #vaccinesaresexy: Link

Lola Young Collapses Mid-Performance, Carried Off Stage by Medical Team During N.Y.C. Music Festival
September 27, 2025
Lola Young collapsed while performing live at a New York City music festival. The singer, 24, suffered the medical ordeal mid-performance as she was singing “Conceited” at the All Things Go Music Festival at Forest Hills Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 27. Young was carried off-stage by medical team staff, as audience members cheered in support. Remi Wolf later appeared onstage, where she addressed the crowd, stating, “That was really f------ scary.” She added, “My friend Lola is backstage, and she is okay.” Earlier in the set, Young spoke about how she “had a tricky couple of days,” adding: “Sometimes life can really make you feel like you can’t continue, but you know what, today I woke up and I made the decision to come here, and I wanted to be cool ... and sometimes life can throw you lemons, and you just gotta make lemonade.” Young’s onstage incident took place a day after she canceled her performance at Audacy’s We Can Survive concert on Friday, Sept. 26. Her manager, Nick Shymansky, shared a statement on her Instagram Stories, stating the musician had to pull out from the performance “due to a sensitive matter.” Shymansky alluded that Young’s cancellation could be tied to her mental health, which he said the star has been “very open about.” “There are [occasionally] days where myself and my team have to take protective measures to keep her safe,” he added. “She is an incredible person and always takes her fans, career and performances seriously. I can only send huge apologies for the inconvenience caused.” In 2022, Young opened up about her mental health and living with schizoaffective disorder, which she was diagnosed with at 17, in a candid Instagram post.

Ex-Netherlands striker opens up on ‘maddening’ ordeal as heart inflammation forces him to retire following cardiac arrest during match
September 25, 2025
Former Netherlands international Bas Dost has announced his retirement from professional football. The decision comes after a lengthy battle with health issues following a cardiac arrest he suffered on the pitch in October 2023, with the player describing a major setback in his recovery as a “slap in the face” in an interview with Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad. The terrifying incident occurred during an Eredivisie match between his club NEC and AZ, when Dost collapsed on the field and required resuscitation. He was later diagnosed with myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. After an initial prognosis of six months for recovery, Dost suffered a devastating blow. “It was maddening. The prognosis was that the inflammation would disappear after six months. I thought I’d be able to play again next season,” he said. “But in March, a scan was done – with dramatic results. The inflammation was almost back in full force. That was a slap in the face for me.” While the 36-year-old confirmed that “the inflammation is now gone,” the nearly two-year ordeal has prompted him to end his playing days.

Very concerning. More and more athletes, football players, cyclists, singers... all people who put more strain on their bodies than us, regular people, are coming down with weird incidents. And finally, some people are starting to wake up. Slowly. The FDA is considering an independent look into the jabs. Considering. They may or may not. And what is independent, according to the FDA? How much more proof do they need? Don't they read any of the available literature on the dangers of the jabs, and of all jabs really? Their pockets must be filled with green from the bigpharma.
