Cavalera have been forced to withdraw from their scheduled performance at ‘Hellfest Open Air’ in Clisson, France on June 20th after the band was involved in what they described as a near-fatal tour bus accident.
In a statement shared via social media, the band confirmed the cancellation and expressed gratitude that the situation did not result in serious injuries.
“Cavalera regretfully are unable to perform today at ‘Hellfest‘ due to an unforeseen accident yesterday. We are very grateful for the driver’s skills at preventing what could have been a deadly bus crash. The band is devastated to not be able to bring Chaos AD to this great festival and to the French fans. We hope to be able to return with our Chaos in the future. X Max & Iggor”
Following the statement, Igor Cavalera noted on social media that while the band escaped without serious injury, the incident has resulted in mechanical issues that have disrupted their touring plans.
The Cavalera brothers, Max and Iggor Cavalera, are currently on a European and UK run revisiting Sepultura’s 1993 album ‘Chaos A.D.’, performing the record in full for fans across the region.
Despite the setback, the group are expected to continue their remaining tour dates across Europe over the coming weeks.
