British/American metal trio RAVEN has postponed its previously announced summer/fall 2025 European tour due to bassist/vocalist John Gallagher's health.
Earlier today (Saturday, August 23),RAVEN members John, guitarist Mark Gallagher and drummer Mike Heller released the following statement via social media: "Raven Lunatics, got some unfortunate news for you! We are very sad to say that we have to postpone the upcoming European Tour due to John's health. He was admitted to hospital with a massive headache on August 12th. Following a CAT scan, it was determined that he was suffering from a bleed on the brain, Subdural Hematoma. Surgery was planned for the next day, then a further, more invasive surgery was performed on the 19th. He is now doing good, but of course, needs to recuperate and will not be able to fly on a plane.
"Very few shows have ever been cancelled in our 50 year career.
"We are working with our agency Dragon Productions, as well as the promoters to reschedule these dates.
"We would like to thank our booking agent Bart Gabriel, the promoters and of course all the Raven Lunatics who were coming to the shows for your understanding.
"We will be BACK – STRONGER than ever! Rock Until You Drop!"
Considered part of the "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" movement of the early '80s, RAVEN is perhaps best remembered for its trailblazing tours in America in the early '80s that gave groups like METALLICA and ANTHRAX their first taste of the road.
RAVEN's latest EP, "Can't Take Away The Fire", came out in February via Silver Lining Music.
