Pittsburgh band Code Orange announced on Friday that it was canceling its upcoming headlining tour due to guitarist Dominic Landolina suffering from health issues.
The band is also canceling its ShipRocked cruise and Pulp Summer Slam.
“Our guitarist Dom has been dealing with serious health issues over the past year that have led to his inability to play, perform and live comfortably. While he gritted through our fall performances, his issues were exasperated by them,” the band wrote on a social media post.
“We wanted to give him proper time to heal before making a group decision, and were very hopeful he would be able to return by February. Ultimately its been determined that he is unable to play guitar at this time. We take this decision very seriously, and this is the last way we intended to start this era.”
Code Orange, which formed for a talent show at Pittsburgh CAPA High School in 2008, has gone on to be a international touring and Grammy-nominated band. Landolina joined Code in 2017.
“We have been together since we were teenagers, have ridden in vans and slept on floors for the majority of our career,” the band added. “No time period has been as difficult for us as the last few years. We are now focused on regaining our strength. We will be back with more stability and in full force. Thank you for the continued love and respect. Please support the amazing Gel, Teenage Wrist, Soul Blind, Spy and Gridiron on whatever they choose to do. Refunds are available at point of purchase.”
The Above Tour, supporting the band’s new album, was set to begin in Austin on Feb. 13 and run through March 17 in Los Angeles.
