Let’s start the morning with something from our “no surprise here” file with the news that the upcoming “Metal Tour Of The Year” that featured Megadeth, Lamb Of God, Trivium and In Flames has been postponed. Read on down below.
The Statement:

PiercingMetal Thoughts: As I said up in the opening area, this is not surprising news at all but I will say that I am amazed at how long it took for an announcement to come. I fully realize that there are a lot of moving parts in the mix for things like this and I guess the next big cancellation reveal will come for the Motley Crue/Def Leppard tour that is set for June through September. See you next time and please stay safe out there my friends. We aren’t out of the woods yet no matter what you hear.
