Dez Fafara originally postpones Coal Chamber's 2024 headlining tour dates to 2025 as he dealt with some health issues. Fafara has once again postponed any live plans that Coal Chamber and DevilDriver had until at least the fourth quarter of 2025 to further focus on his health. Still, Fafara promises there are a lot of different projects in the works for both Coal Chamber and DevilDriver, though touring is out of the question at the moment.
Coal Chamber's tour with Fear Factory was originally slated to begin on March 5. No word on when this trek has been pushed to.
The following is a statement written by Fafara: "Hello everyone, first off let me say that we are sending prayers to all who are affected in these terrible California wildfires. We have many friends on evacuation or that have lost everything please donate or do what you can to help."
"At this time, I will be taking down the scheduled touring this year until quarter 4 to focus on my health. For everybody that has given me positive comments or sent our family prayers or contacted us with well wishes I want to thank you so much. It means a great deal to not only myself but my family during this trying time.
"I've had a very blessed life and in all lives some rain must fall and certainly over the last few years. It's been stormy for my family and I with my health. I'm looking forward to getting healthy. My attitude is positive and when I'm ready I'm gonna get back on the road harder than ever with both Coal Chamber and DevilDriver.
"There are a lot of things in the works with both of those bands, but I won't go over them now because I want to focus on this announcement and I wanted you guys to hear it straight from me. To all those who supported me, been behind me I'm so sorry that these tours have to come down but at this time I'm just not able to go do my job at 100%. Love one another and be good to one another."
