The result was a cruciate ligament rupture, leaving him wearing a leg brace and facing months of recovery. However, Unisonic's tour with Edguy will go on as Kiske is determined not to sit out any shows.

In a statement, the band say: "Fortunately, Michael puts his fans before his pain and will continue the current tour with Edguy, no matter what the costs. Although he will not be able to move on stage, Michael says he's happy that he still can sing for the fans during the next shows. So, don't fret."
