Linkin Park Cancel Gig So Chester Bennington Can Have Surgery

Linkin Park have cancelled the last date on their world tour because singer Chester Bennington requires surgery on a shoulder injury.

The band will no longer perform at DeLuna Festival in Florida, according to a message on their website.

Bennington, who injured himself during a Linkin Park gig in Asia earlier this year, is due to have surgery in the coming weeks.

"We regret that we must withdraw from our October 16 performance at DeLuna Fest in Pensacola, FL,” the band said.

“As much as we were looking forward to rocking our final date of the year with our Florida fans, Chester has been advised to have immediate shoulder surgery as a result of an injury he sustained during our recent tour in Asia."

Linkin Park said recently that they were already working on the follow-up to their recent album 'A Thousand Suns'.
