WHAT WENT DOWN
Chad Gray canceled two California solo dates after a scope found one vocal fold roughly twice the width of the other, plus a large broken blood vessel from a prior hemorrhage *. He said he got sick around his Aftershock festival set and has been placed on vocal rest *.
THE DETAILS
- Off the books: House Of Blues San Diego on October 5 and the Observatory OC in Santa Ana on October 6 *.
- The "30 Years Of Madnesss" tour is slated to resume October 7 at Fremont Country Club in Las Vegas *.
- Gray initially blamed allergies after flying to Nashville for rehearsals and finding his voice gone *.
- No surgery recommended so far, though Gray believes he will need a procedure for the enlarged fold *.
- "To tell you I was scared would be the understatement of my life" *.
- Meet-and-greet buys transfer to Las Vegas or refund, Ticketmaster refunds are automatic *.
THE TAKE
A 54-year-old singer who said he refused to sit out a year while Mudvayne rests is now doing exactly that on a smaller scale *. The recovery is unresolved: no surgery date, no timeline, and only the Las Vegas date confirmed as the restart point *, †.
