Swedish metallers In Flames have posted the following statement online announcing the cancellation of the remainder of its 2011 U.S. tour dates due to a medical emergency.

"It is with huge regret that today with immediate effect In Flames must cancel their current US shows as part of the Rockstar Mayhem Festival and their own US Headline shows. But due to a serious terminal illness of one the band’s immediate family members they feel they have no option.

"We have had the most amazing and fun times as part of the Rockstar Mayhem Festival and we are truly grateful for all the support the whole festival has shown

"We will be back at the start of 2012.

"Once again our apologies, In Flames."

Pretty much the only reason for going to the mayhem festival this year was to see In Flames when I heard they cancelled I was thinking of not going but megadeth was playing and I've never seen them live so is give them a shot honestly not that impressed just like metallica these days. But prayers to the family member of IF's. Trivium was pretty good never really liked thembut there badass live! The last band umm the atharchist I think that's how u spell it they sucked a$$ for a 2 piece metal band but a good cover of slayers raining blood! Machine head was alright I hate is when ur at a metal show and the band stand still trying to get a reaction from the audience jump around for god sakes to get the crown going!!! Godsmack has always sucked for the most part but the drummer is freakin sick. Unearthed was awesome live. And left before disturbed played but i heard they covered 1 or 2 In Flames songs if I'm wrong please correct me bc I would have stayed for humor of watching disturbed "trying" to cover In Flames. Lol but all in all not worth the 35 bucks for this experience.
