Reps for Sum 41announced this morning that the band has canceled their spot on the Vans Warped Tour as frontman Deryck Whibley is still in the hospital.
You'll recall that poor Deryck was brutally attacked at a bar in Japan earlier in the week that has left him hospitalized with a slipped disc. The band hopes to get back on the road by the end of August, but they send their heartfelt regrets to their fans who were hoping to catch them on the Warp Tour. Drummer Steve Jocz said:
"[We] are very disappointed that we have to pull off the tour. [But] we know that it would be more frustrating for the fans if we can't give it our all. Deryck is doing everything he can to get himself better and we're there for him."
Speaking of Deryck, sources say that his condition has not improved since his attack but he is expected to make a full recovery with "the necessary treatment and rest."
Poor guy! We continue to wish him a speedy recovery!
Sum 41's frontman Deryck Whibley has been hospitalized after being attacked by 3 unknown suspects in a Japanese bar.
The band wrote a status update on their Twitter, saying:
"Deryck Whibley was attacked in a bar last night by 3 unknown people. He is in the hospital now. Japanese police are looking into the matter."
Later, they updated their status, adding:
"It is unfortunate to say, but Deryck Whibley is still in the hospital. He was attacked late last night in Japan. We are waiting for results and we are hoping for the best. Thanks for your support."
While on the June cover of Inked, Avril Lavigne dished on her relationship with her ex Deryck, potential new tattoos and fans getting inked in tribute.
By the way, her favorite tattoo is the one that says "FUCK" on her rib cage. It's apparently her favorite word! Ugh.
Here are some HIGHlights:
On Deryck:
"We celebrated his 30th birthday together. It was a big one and I was like, 'Lets get 30 tattoos. I will if you will.'"
On fan tattoos:
"I've seen people with my portrait, and some people put my name on them after I sign my autograph. I signed one girl's ass and she tattooed it. I was like, 'Ooh, I better do a really good job!'"
On future tats:
"I want to get a big-ass-motherf*****g tattoo on my forearm. I'm going to wait a few years and make sure I still want it then. I have to wait for that special someone to come back into my life. I want to do a big-ass heart with a flag through it with a name. I want it to be a huge experience and statement."
When did this start up again? We thought you were letting your saliva hang loose in your ex-husband these days???
Boo, you whore!
Yesterday,Avril Lavigne was caught making out with Brody Jenner in his car in El Lay. After he gave her a thrill, they drove off, hopefully to explain to Deryck Whibley that they are back together again.
If not, he sure knows about it now!
So, are you going to pick one of them Avril or wait to see how many C-list boyfriends you can collect before they wise up?
It's been one hell of an eventful evening/morning for former charming actress Amanda Bynes -- a drug related arrest, overnight stay in a holding cell, courthouse hearing -- but now the question is...
What would be the best possible option for the retired star so that something like this doesn't happen again? She seems to like her drugs, but is Amanda's substance abuse just an indicator of more serious mental health issues?
Well, that's apparently what her parents believe! Rather than have her sent off to a rehab facility, Amanda's mom and pops Lynn and Rick reportedly believe their daughter should be in a psychiatric hospital... like NOW.
