Kroeger was diagnosed with an intracordal cyst on his voice box in June, and doctors have placed him on six to nine months rest in order to fully recuperate.

"Most of all, we are sorry to miss our fans out on the road this fall," says the band, "but Chad's health, healing and full recovery are what is most important right now. With the proper amount of time, we hope to have him back stronger and better than ever before.

"We thank everyone for their support and understanding during this time and look forward to getting back out on the road and playing music for everyone again real soon."
