'90s Rock Band, Disbanded for Two Years, Cancels 2026 Show
Cold, the rock veterans, faced another setback as they announced the cancellation of a particular show on the Goodbye Cruel World U.S. tour.
After briefly disbanding in November 2006 and officially returning in January 2009 with a reunion concert, the band is currently in an ongoing headlining tour in celebration of the release of their self-titled debut album.
The five-piece band fronted by Scooter Ward announced a major change in one of their shows.
In an Instagram update, the band apologized for cancelling the June 17 show set in Fort Wayne, Indiana, "due to unforeseen circumstances."
Although they didn't specify the exact reason, Cold explained that it was with "heavy hearts" that they needed to halt their performance at Piere's Entertainment Center, but assured fans that everyone is in good spirits.
As for those who bought tickets, the band confirmed that purchases will be refunded at the point of purchase.
"We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. (Everyone in the band and crew is fine for those asking). All other shows remain as scheduled," the caption reads.
The post sparked heartfelt messages from fans who were wishing Cold the best.
"Hope everyone is ok," one wrote.
"Hope you're doing well, wish it will get better," a commenter said.
"Man, I hope you guys are ok! Sending you love and prayers from Nashville," a fan added.
"Stay strong," a follower remarked, while another said, "Seems to be a rough year for you all, I hope things improve for the better!"
The recent update wasn't the first time that the band carried out changes for their ongoing tour.
Back in March, Cold had to reschedule their spring 2026 tour dates while other stops were canceled.
At the time, the band explained that the decision was made due to some "family health issues."
"It's never an easy decision for us to have to cancel or reschedule any shows for an upcoming tour," as mentioned on their Instagram post, adding, "With that said, family always remains the most important thing in all of our lives. Family health issues are sometimes unexpected and can create certain issues for us leaving."
Despite the sudden change in the Goodbye Cruel World U.S. tour, Cold will continue the remaining dates this month.
