Slipknot were forced to cancel a second show last night (August 23) due to drummer Joey Jordison's ongoing illness.

As previously reported, the sticks-man was hospitalised on Saturday forcing the cancellation of a US tour date in Seattle.

The metallers stated on Saturday time that their date at the Toyota Center in Kennewick, Washington was set to go ahead, however this was axed at the eleventh hour.

Rick Capello, ticket office manager at the Toyota Center, said all tickets will be valid at a new show, details of which will be announced in the coming week.
