SUM 41 FORCED TO PULL OUT OF THE KERRANG! TOUR SPONSORED BY RELENTLESS ENERGY DRINK

Kerrang! regret to announce that Sum 41 have been forced to pull out of the
upcoming Kerrang! Tour Sponsored By Relentless Energy Drink. The rest of the
line-up remains unaffected.

Frontman Deryck Whibley has been suffering from a back injury and will not
be well enough to perform on the 11-date UK and Ireland tour, which is set
to kick off on February 4 at Dublin Academy.

"I feel really terrible about letting down the fans," says Deryck. "I injured
my back and the doctors are saying that I could be in a wheelchair. So, as
much as I wanted to be able to do it, I've got to look at reality, and for
the first time I've got to listen to somebody else and not just myself.
We're all really upset about this; we've had such a great relationship with
our UK fans. We were really looking forward to thistour."

"Kerrang! are really gutted to lose Sum 41 from what will be an unforgettable
tour," says Kerrang! Editor James McMahon. "Let's be honest, the news
totally blows. However the tour must go on and we're chuffed to say we've
found a more than worthy replacement. We're absolutely delighted to announce
that The Blackout have offered to step up to the plate and will be taking to
the stage with New Found Glory, letlive. and While She Sleeps in February."

"We're delighted to step in for Sum 41 at the last minute!" says The Blackout's
co-vocalist Sean Smith. "We've played the tour once before [in 2010] and we
know what a total laugh it is. But hopefully Sum 41 fans won't try and murder
us! This should be a really, really great tour and we're all really excited
to watch the other bands every night."

Deryck Whibley talks more about his injury and withdrawal from the tour in
next week's Kerrang! [on sale January 25], while The Blackout also speak
about what they've got planned for their slot.
