Envy On The Coast Cancels Tour Due to Health

Envy on the Coast canceled their remaining tour dates with Escape the Fate, due to singer Ryan Hunter's problem with his vocal chords. According to a statement he posted on the band's official website and myspace page, Hunter has been dealing with problems with his vocal chords due to acid reflux disease, and had been approved to go on the tour by his doctor recently before experiencing this other unexplained issue. After struggling through three songs during the band's performance yesterday, Hunter walked off the stage apologizing to the fans, unable to continue. "I don't really know how to explain the sensation for someone who doesn't sing…but imagine trying to scream underwater," Hunter posted. "That's kind of what it feels like. It's like swallowing a golf ball and then trying to hold a conversation with someone."

This is really too bad, I hope Envy on the Coast doesn't need to also cancel their tour dates with Circa Survive's Anthony Green.

Anthony Green, current lead singer of progressive-rock band, Circa Survive, (and formerly of Saosin) is accompanying Envy on the Coast for five days of their tour in late December. The days he is performing are listed below:

12/26/07 Harper's Ferry Allston, MA
12/27/07 School of Rock South Hackensack, NJ
12/28/07 Recher Theatre Towson, MD
12/29/07 Crazy Donkey Farmingdale, NY
12/30/07 First Unitarian Church Philadelphia, PA

I wonder what he's going to perform since he will be doing the solo thing on those days.
