The band has announced a series of postponed dates while their frontman, Denis ‘Snake’ Belanger, undergoes a procedure to deal with diverticulitis. For those unaware, diverticulitis is a common digestive disorder in which the formation of pouches within the large intestine just outside of the colon become inflamed, leading to discomfort and pain, as well as a number of other symptoms like fever and nausea. The band’s Facebook posting on the situation reads as follows: show cancellations!!! Voivod has had to postpone any shows for the immediate future as Snake needs 4-6 weeks rest due to a procedure for diverticulitis, a common digestive disease. This affects the MS Benefit in Ottawa and the SXSW shows, this should not affect the Santiago, Chile MetalFest appearance in April More tour news to be announced shortly. Stay tuned to see if and when Voivod reschedule the lost dates. In the interim, fans in Chile can begin to look forward to the band’s return to the stage.
