Anthrax Parts Ways With Dan Nelson
As announced last week, thrash legends Anthrax regretfully cancelled the first three dates on the second leg of their European tour due to new vocalist Dan Nelson’s unexpected illness. An additional seven European dates are also cancelled, those scheduled from July 22 to July 30. Anthrax is thrilled to announce that they will play the August 1 Sonisphere festival in Knebworth, England, with their good friend John Bush joining them for a very special one off performance.
The members of Anthrax have confirmed the departure of vocalist Dan Nelson. In light of this development, Anthrax’s slot on the U.S. Slipknot dates set for August and September, has also been cancelled. Anthrax is already actively considering lead singer candidates, and look forward to hitting the road before the end of the year.

What horrible timing — new album AND a Slipknot slot. Sounds like an issue we may never get any real insight on (much like Belladonna’s latest exit)…
Let me guess, Bush will come back full-time and they’ll put his vocals on the new album with a new song or two.
Why you canceled your Europe tour ?????????
Illness? Not a fight with Scott at Rocklahoma. Because Saxon blew them off stage. Love the site.
