Shows Canceled After Detroit Halt

The postponement in Chicago comes after backlash from fans following a sold-out performance in Detroit that was postponed just a half-hour in advance due to Skiendiel’s illness. Furthermore, the group’s show in Minneapolis, set for Nov. 7, was also called off on Thursday because of Skiendiel’s illness, according to a social media post from the Target Center.
