Mastodon's tour with Dinosaur Jr. was scrapped on Thursday due to a “critical situation of a member of the Mastodon family.”
The tour was scheduled to begin Saturday in Edmonton and included stops in Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, London, Kitchener and Hamilton.
The news came in a since-deleted post to Mastodon's Facebook page. It said the band is "extending their sincerest thanks to their loyal fans as well as the fans of Dinosaur Jr. for their support and understanding at this time."
Mastodon added that "no plans for rescheduling" have yet been made.
Dinosaur Jr. confirmed the news in a Twitter post.
"Our team is quickly working to see if we can schedule shows in some of the other affected markets, and will share news as soon as possible," Dinosaur Jr. said in its statement.
