Unfortunately Pennywise are forced to cancel the last leg of their European tour. At the Full Force Festival last Friday singer Zoli collapsed on stage a few times during the set. He was taken to the emergency room where they said he needed an immediate operation, or risk the chance of paralysis.

Here's the official statement from the band: "We would like to thank everyone who has expressed care and concern for Zoli after he collapsed on stage at the Full Force Festival due to lower back complications from a herniated disk.

"He had an emergency procedure done on his back on Saturday as a result of the severe back pain he had been experiencing throughout the tour.

"The surgery went as perfect as could be. He’s recovering very well and is already up and slowly moving around.

"Zoli is in good spirits and is recovering nicely. Unfortunately due to his recovery time, the last leg of the tour will be canceled.

"The band will however be back out to finish the last scheduled tour date in Spain at the Aupa Lumbreiras Festival on July 13th."

The UK dates affected are:

July 10 - London, o2 Academy Islington
