The west coast run for the tour got the knife starting with Tuesday's show in Mesa, Az through next week's show in Santa Rosa, Ca. The rest of the tour is expected to go on as planned.

The band said in a statement: "Despite our best efforts, it is not possible to reschedule the canceled shows at this time. However, we are working diligently to reschedule these markets in early 2009. Fans are encouraged to obtain refunds from their original place of purchase." - more on this story
