Shinedown has been touring throughout 2022 and many fans didn't expect their recent announcement as they revealed that they won't be continuing their scheduled shows in Europe.
Sharing their official statement online, the band explained that they are not the type of people who would cancel shows, and throughout their 20-year career, they only postponed twice.
However, it's heartbreaking for them to announce that they will not push through with their shows in Europe. The main reason behind their decision is because of the "economic and logistical side of touring" which is heavy for them that's why it's not currently feasible.
