LOS ANGELES, CA: August 25, 2009 - Black Label Society has performed their last show on “The Pedal To The Metal Tour” due to the health of frontman Zakk Wylde. Wylde has been diagnosed with blood clots in his lungs, and has been admitted into the hospital in Eugene, OR this afternoon. Today's BLS appearance in Eugene has been canceled, along with the remaining BLS appearances on the tour.

“The Pedal To The Metal Tour” will continue without Black Label Society, and the rest of the bands will all be participating throughout the remaining dates on the tour. Please visit www.pedaltothemetaltour.com for tour dates.

BLS apologizes to ticket holders on the remaining “Pedal To The Metal” dates for the inconvenience, as well as to all BLSNATION Meet & Greet purchasers who gathered for the event this afternoon and in the remaining cities. BLSNATION refunds will be processed promptly.

I heard about this yesterday. Blood clots are nothing to sneeze at, they can be very serious.

This pic, on the other hand, is about the most demoralizing shot I've seen of Zakk in a while,

Jesus Christ that's funny!

Steve- Those are compression stockings. I'd imagine he got blood clots in his lungs because of poor circulation in his legs. I have the same deal, except my veins just explode and I bleed everywhere.fun times!
