Linkin Park Cancels Asian Tour


Linkin Park's lead singer Chester Bennington has sustained a back injury, and is restricted to travel or do any physical activites. The band's Asia tour has therefore been canceled.

Tickets for the following venues will be refunded at point of purchase:

Oct. 12 - Shanghai, China - Shanghai Stadium
Oct. 15 - Wuhan, China - Xinhua Stadium
Oct. 17 - Taipei, Taiwan - Taipei Soccer Stadium
Oct. 19 - Beijing, China - Beijing Workers Stadium
Oct. 21 - Macau, China Cotai Arena - The Venetian

The concerts were fundraisers for victims of this year's China earthquakes in the Sichuan province.

Generous donations from concert promoter Emma Ticketmaster and Linkin Park, funds will still be contributed to the band’s nonprofit organization, Music for Relief, and matched by the World Bank.
