Disturbed frontman David Draiman has addressed speculation surrounding the band’s recently announced plans to step away from the spotlight in 2026. Following the completion of their touring cycle celebrating the 25th anniversary of their 5x multi-platinum debut “The Sickness”, Draiman confirmed that the break is simply due to exhaustion—not internal conflict or controversy.
The post read:
“For the record;
- Taking a break because we’re TIRED, PERIOD.
- Any spin by the media is just that…spin. We’re all doing great, and are on great terms.
- The European tour was the biggest of our career. We played to packed arenas every night. Let’s do it again sometime”

David Draiman Clarifies Disturbed’s 2026 Hiatus: “We’re Taking A Break Because We’re TIRED, PERIOD.”

Lmao yeah right. Poor little warmonger got a little tired and needs a nap?
Tony Berryman cry harder
Ethan Hauf Im not crying at all, Im laughing and dancing, celebrating that this mediocre great value metal with mommy issues is finally coming to an end. Couldn’t be happier! 😁
Tony Berryman Lmao because a break totally means an end 🤣🤣
Ethan Hauf I prefer to be optimistic. 😂
Tony Berryman I would love to see you say that to any member of Disturbed to their face. I would pay to see that. Your just a jealous bitch.
Tony Berryman delusional more like. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Hypocrite brain dead moron
James Rennie please enlighten me. Did he not sign a bomb that was about to be dropped on living people? If youre willing to overlook an entire genocide just so you can keep listening to a mediocre band, what’s that say about you?
Tony Berryman he didn’t sign a bomb no. Do you always just believe everything people tell you
Tony Berryman did he sign the bomb NO did he write FUCK HAMAS YES
Eddie Vautour he could have written titties on the bomb, but its still a bomb being dropped on children.
Tony Berryman the bomb was used on a hamas installation in particular a hideout. Do some homework and you will get to the truth of the matter for real. In all reality you want the truth, you’re going to have to go find it yourself. When you do you will see that the information I am sharing is what you find. Not what most are trying to say. Dont take my word for it. Go do the digging yourself.
Eddie Vautour I dont want your fox news/infowars link that gives you extra special permission to pretend that an actual genocide isnt occurring. Funny you decided to call it the truth. I guess hamas had entire city blocks all to themselves, must have had a hell of a budget to occupy every single building in the city. Oh wait, thats right, you dont care about the actual people, with children, living there and getting bombed by your favorite medicore pop rock band. Maybe your swastika is cutting off circulation to your brain? Probably shouldnt sleep with it on anymore.
Eddie Vautour well said
Tony Berryman actually its not mainstream media Inam getting at but if you want to be one who is too ignorant of facts then go fuck yerself You are very rapidly taking this away from the issue at hand which is Disturbed. Do you actually thing I favor people who use the Star of Remphan in their flag? Do you think I stand with a side at all? Here is where I stand this is just par for the course these days but the fact remains when it comes to David Draiman 1 bomb dropped on a hamas hideout. Nothing more. So fuck you and you agendas
Tony Berryman bitch cry us a river
Tony Berryman what do u do when you’re attacked ?? Lay down and just take it, or do u fight back???? Which?????
Steve Dewayne Ponder let’s see some before and after pictures of the level of destruction that Isreal has suffered compared to what they have done to Gaza.
Tony Berryman they are very lucky Israel didn’t totally destroy them, they should have ran them off their land years and years ago, they are squatters and cowards and they are not done either, this ceasefire is just giving them time to regroup, they will attack a peaceful people again, wait and see, and when they do I pray the IDF will purge the land, and drive Whats left completely out
Steve Dewayne Ponder wow man. Its one thing to try to debate and make a case for your point of view. Its something else entirely to fully support the genocide of people that are unable to defend themselves. The powers that be Would do it to you just as quickly as they did it to the Palestinians if it turned a profit. The hottest of the hot takes there bud
Tony Berryman don’t elect terrorist to your government, to lead u, and if u do, you’ll definitely have a high chance to be wiped out
Tony Berryman poor little cocksucker
Guess they’re too down with the sickness and very tired hehe.
The real sound of silence finally
Yeah signing bombs to drop on schools and hospitals is exhausting.
John Fiorello wasn’t even a bomb and he didn’t sign it he wrote fuck Hamas and it went to terrorists hideouts… Fucking retard
John Fiorello dumbass
John Fiorello listen dick licker, he did not sign any bombs. He did write Fuck HAMAS on 1 bomb, not bombs like you cocksuckers are insinuating. And no it wasnt dropped on a school or a hospital.
John Fiorello name the schools and hospitals please
We’re tired of Disturbed, too.
David Breda just another bitch from Ohio.
Eddie Vautour Okeedokee, Sparky. Good to know I hurt your little feels.
David Breda You didnt hurt my feelings I am just stating facts of life.
Eddie Vautour You’re totally right, bro. You got me. Come to think of it, you’ve made me realize Dusturbed is awesome, too.
David Breda speak for yourself
Tired of covers no doubt
“Im dumb and pissed everyone off and now nobody wants to be seen with me in public”
Are you down with the tirrreeeeedd

Tired of being called out for the pos he is
Reyna Sumo would you rather him support terrorists fucking retard
Ethan Hauf disturbed has not been cool enough to be this die hard brain dead over in like 2 decades, chill 🤣
Dakota Hammonds and you couldn’t say anything intelligent so you resort to insults. Typical retard fashion 🤣
Ethan Hauf you replied to every comment on this thread over a shitty sellout hard rock band that hasn’t been relevant since you’ve been an adult but go off I guess
Dakota Hammonds aww poor baby did I strike a nerve. It’s okay you’ll grow up and realize how stupid you truly are one day
Ethan Hauf He is supporting terrorists…. they’re called the Zionist state of Israel.
Hugh Brint lmao you are truly retarded if you think he’s supporting terrorists. Idiot
Reyna Sumo exactly can’t say anything intelligent but put laugh reaction. Shows how stupid you really are
Hey Reyna it’s Dan ♥️
Probably more time to do some new material for his band DEVICE
Another 🧃📃
GOY-VEY!!!

James Patrick yep looks like you alright. Fucktard.
Tired of having no audience.
Yeah but the goat fucking terrorist supporters are dong their best to make it all about them.
Nothing to do with the well-deserved shitstorm Draiman got. Period.
Draiman thought it was cool to sign an artillery shell with his IDF mates. He did this knowing such shells would be used to indiscriminately murder innocent Palestinian men, women and children. And now, due to the public outrage, he’s having to make weak ar$e excuses for his actions 🇮🇱☠️🇮🇱🤮
Down with the Zionist genocidal sickness.

RS Shaps cyclops has more integrity and character in his empty eye socket than you have in your entire body. You gotta be one sorry loser to think this does anything for your argument
Kevin Doyle 😂 okay, little, racist, hick. I’ve seen crazy cat ladies, but this is something unique! Now, go get your banjo 🪕.
And yes, it’s odd that a grown man primarily pictures and (multiple ones) of him and his cat. It tells me a lot. 😂

Fk israhell, fk David and fk distur-shit , their music is trash and sucks big time anyway
If him or any other Jew in the United States feels so empowered by this then they need to go move to Israel and join war effort. If not? Shut the fuck up and return to your multi million dollar house.
You tell’em Dave 😂
Yeah, it’s exhausting being a lolcow.
Genocidal POS
Tired of signing bombs.
Alberto Glez Vizan another dick licker who needs to be remind of facts. DAVID DID NOT “SIGN” any bombs. HE DID WRITE “FUCK HAMAS” ON A SINGLE BOMB. NOT BOMBS LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO CLAIM
Yeah and it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that everyone hates me because I signed bombs which were then dropped on children… 🙄
don’t wait to long miss all of you
