Suicide Commando cancels / postpones all shows due to health issues Johan van Roy

Johan van Roy has announced that “due to ongoing health issues I decided to cancel/postpone all remaining live shows for the rest of the year.” The shows affected include Sittard on November 28th and Paris on December 5th.
Says Johan: “I of course deeply regret that I once again have to cancel some more shows, but it’s useless to keep hoping for a miracle to recover completely in such a short notice. I’m really sorry to let both our fans and organiser(s) down, but in the given circumstances it’s the only possible option. I now realise more then ever that a good health is the greatest gift we can have. My sincere apologies to all of you.”
Earlier van Roy already had to cancel the band’s live show at the Nocturna Festival in Barcelona (Spain) in October due to illness. Back then he posted this: “Never had to cancel that many shows as in the last cursed year. Now it’s time to break the spell …” But the spell doesn’t seem to have been broken…

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we havenât put up a paywall â we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
