Monster Magnet was originally planning on tour Europe this summer in support of their 2018 record Mindfucker. Unfortunately things have gone a little south for vocalist Dave Wyndorf's tonsils, which are going to require surgery and some post-surgery relaxation.

Wyndorf says in a statement that he's just looking out for his voice, quite literally his job, and hopes to return soon.

Unfortunately due to a recent medical diagnosis that requires treatment to start immediately, I am forced to cancel this summer’s Monster Magnet tour of Europe. I am hopeful that we will return to the road in early 2020 with a tour celebrating Powertrip and more.

Tonsils! Who knew they could be such a big deal? Well, my doctors do and by the way I'm feeling now I'm in agreement. I’m to undergo surgery right away or risk chronic sickness and sounding like Jabba The Hut forever. (some may say the later may be an improvement but I’m not willing to risk it) I’m so sorry to cancel on everybody. Playing live and being with my Magnet road family (of which you are the BIGGEST part) is the joy of my life and I hate to let everybody down. And that includes myself. Simply put, this SUCKS but it is what it is. Gotta take care of the voice. I hope you understand

ROCK! – Dave
