The Jesus Lizard Cancel International Tour Due To “Serious Health Incident”

Last year, Chicago noise-rock legends the Jesus Lizard returned to action, releasing Rack, their first new album in 26 years. They’ve been on the road, playing convulsive live shows and releasing occasional non-album singles. The band had plans to tour across the world later this year. They were going to hit New Zealand, Australia, and Japan in October and then head back for a North American run in November. But they’ve been forced to cancel those plans because of what they call “a serious health incident involving one of the band members.”
