Breaking Benjamin frontman Ben Burley explained in a recent online post that the band has canceled a number of shows due to Burley’s health, not because the band is breaking up, which had been rumored the past few days. “I regrettably had to postpone some shows, because I’m not feeling well and haven’t felt 100% since November when I left the Godsmack tour four days early,” Burley explained. “I’m a private person, and I would like to keep my personal health to myself but I wanted to go on the record and tell everyone that this is nothing drug or alcohol related. As a matter a fact I have been completely clean and sober for 7 months. I’m working on seeing the best doctors and exploring every avenue possible to fixing this.” Rumors of the band’s break up began to spread after the band did not show up for their July 9th tour date in Atlanta, and then posted an ambiguous message on their website announcing that the remaining dates on their tour were also off. The band plans to reschedule all the shows cancelled on the tour.
