Atlantan sludge-rockers, Mastodon, were forced to cancel their sold-out concert April 27th at the Water Street Music Hall in Rochester, New York due to the hospitalization of guitarist Bill Kelliher. The show was originally going to be moved to the April 28th, according to the official Mastodon website, but according to the venue website the show has now been rescheduled to sometime in May due to "ongoing illness with Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher."
Though no other information is available, the hospitalization may be linked to Kelliher's alcohol-related illness that forced the band to sit out some European dates on the Unholy Alliance Tour in 2008 - but again there is no evidence that supports or denies these rumors.
Here's wishing Bill a full and speedy recovery.
In other news, the newly-reformed Soundgarden played their first show in almost thirteen years on April 16th in Seattle under the name "Nudedragons" (anagram? pretty clever, guys).
Needless to say the guys can still play and Cornell can still belt it out like the good old days.
Here's some footage from the sold-out show:
