Slipknot was forced to cancel their headlining appearances last weekend in Auburn and Kennewick, Washington as drummer Joey Jordison had to be taken to the hospital for health reasons. According to the band, Jordison is expected to make a full recovery and will sit behind the kit again soon.\"There\'s a severe medical emergency. Joey\'s OK though. He sends his love to everyone here, and wants you to know he wishes he could be here. Hold on to your ticket stubs, because we are coming fucking back to do this. We will be back in a couple of months to make this up.\"

In 2008 Slipknot cancelled several European festival appearances as well as performances for MTV Europe and Virgin TV after Joey Jordison broke his ankle and was advised to rest for four to six weeks.
