Tonight's (Monday, May 1) DEFTONES concert at E-Werk in Cologne, Germany has been canceled after frontman Chino Moreno broke the top of his foot. The band explains in a statement: "He needs to stay off it for the next day or two. No other shows as of now are in jeopardy of being cancelled. We hope to make it back soon to perform for you again. In the meantime, all tickets will be refunded. Thanks for your understanding." DEFTONES' European tour kicked off on April 18 in Vienna, Austria and is next scheduled to hit Paris, France on Tuesday, May 2. DEFTONES is continuing to tour in support of its latest album, "Gore", which debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200, having shifted 71,000 equivalent album units in the week ending April 14, 2016. It was the band's highest-charting effort since their self-titled fourth album bowed and peaked at No. 2 in 2003. "Gore" serves as the follow-up to 2012's "Koi No Yokan", which featured the Top 15 rock radio hit "Tempest". The new disc features a guest appearance from ALICE IN CHAINS guitarist Jerry Cantrell. DEFTONES have released eight studio albums to date and have sold over 10 million albums worldwide. The multi-platinum, Grammy-winning alternative rock band from Sacramento, California is vocalist/guitarist Chino Moreno, guitarist Stephen Carpenter, keyboardist/samplist Frank Delgado, drummer Abe Cunningham and bassist Sergio Vega.
