“Clown, yesterday, broke a tooth and had to have it removed,” frontman Corey Taylor told the audience. “There’s an issue. He had to stay home for medical reasons. But he insisted that we come here and fucking play.”
In ’23 Clown missed tour dates while helping his wife with some health issues. Two years earlier, he skipped the Welcome To Rockville festival after undergoing surgery to repair a torn bicep he suffered onstage a week earlier.
