Sad News: Tool Drummer Danny Carey Announces Health Struggles, Band Postpones Tour Dates.
Fans of the legendary progressive metal band Tool were met with somber news today as the band announced that their upcoming tour dates have been postponed due to health issues affecting drummer Danny Carey. Carey, who has been a vital member of the band since its formation in 1990, revealed that he has been dealing with a serious medical condition that will require surgery and extended recovery time.
The band’s management released an official statement, expressing their disappointment but emphasizing the importance of Carey’s health. “We regret to inform our fans that we must postpone our upcoming tour dates due to unforeseen medical circumstances. Danny Carey, our drummer and dear friend, has been diagnosed with a condition that requires immediate attention. We are deeply saddened by this situation, but Danny’s health is our top priority at this time.”
The announcement has hit fans hard, as Tool has been touring extensively following the release of their critically acclaimed album *Fear Inoculum* in 2019.
