Korn Cancels European Tour

The lead singer of the rock group Korn, Jonathan Davis, was hospitalised last weekend in London, forcing the band to cancel their European tour.

According to recent reports, the American singer is suffering from a rare disease called Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.  The illness is an infection of the blood.

According to a representative of the band, Davis will be sidelined for several weeks while he is treated for the illness.

A message was recently posted on the band’s official website.  "I started getting these weird bruises all over my body about two weeks ago," Davis wrote. "I was getting very weak after the shows so I saw a doctor in London Friday. He took some blood tests and when the results came in, they rushed me to the hospital."

Korn was in Europe to promote their disc Keeping the Faith, which was released last April.
