Sum 41’s Australian Tour Canceled After Deryck Whibley Hospitalized

"It is with deep sadness and regret that we announce our 2024 Australian tour is unable to proceed," the band shared.

Sum 41 has canceled their entire Australian tour, including their co-headlining slot at the Good Things Festival, due to frontman Deryck Whibley’s battle with pneumonia.

The band announced the decision on Dec. 5, citing medical advice from Australian doctors who deemed Whibley too unwell to perform.
