Mudvayne and Hellyeah vocalist Chad Gray has shared that he’s heading into surgery today, February 17th, after suffering a knee injury during last year’s touring cycle.
Gray revealed in a video update that he tore his MCL while performing onstage with Mudvayne at the opening show of the band’s final 2025 tour run. Rather than stepping away, he pushed through the remainder of the dates using braces and other support to stabilize the injury. Now, he’s set to undergo a procedure aimed at repairing the damage and getting him back to full strength.
Despite the setback, Gray expressed optimism about his recovery timeline, noting that he hopes to be back on his feet in time for his first-ever run of solo performances later this spring.
Those currently scheduled appearances include:
- 04/24 Las Vegas, NV – Fremont Country Club (feat. Kami Kehoe)
- 05/26 Flint, MI – Machine Shop
- 05/29 East Moline, IL – The Rust Belt (feat. Doobie)
- 05/30 Green Bay, WI – Epic Event Center (feat. Doobie)
Further updates regarding his recovery and the status of those shows are expected as he progresses through rehabilitation.

Where is his face paint? Should have wore it for the surgery
Zach Guntle damn it. You beat me to it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We’re getting too gd old for this shit, Mudvayne
Maybe when he recovers he’ll be 🎶 “not falling down”🎵
Miguel Padilla “I! Need surgery! To keep from kneeling. Falling down! “
Miguel Padilla he will be happy now
Miguel Padilla “Do you pull me up just to push me down again?”
I think Chad would get a chuckle out of that…. maybe when recovered but he would.
Nice.
Chad will be back rocking the stage in no time 💪

Damn😯
Hopefully a speedy recovery for him🤘
Get stronger 💪🏻,, happy healing 🙏🏻🔥🍄🪴💯🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
I saw them in Chicago and the singer jumped off a raised platform that was already like 5 feet off the ground and when he jumped, he did one of those like huge big air jumps where you’re like knees go to your shoulder so like he’s probably landing after going like eight maybe more feet in the air and the guy is in his 50s . I was like holy shit that’s crazy that he can do that but I was worried about him then. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.
Best wishes
No one cares
No more jumping around guys were old an crumbly
I tore my meniscus years ago and had surgery for it. Worst decision I ever made. I should have stayed broken. 10 years later and I have more problems now than I did during my accident.
Get well soon Chadster! They couldn’t be you even if they wanted to, all the things you’ve been through, they wouldn’t know. Lol
