“Because I am not able to comply with what is more and more turning into an market mandate — it has lately been determined that I am unsafe to be all over, in the studio, and on tour,” Parada posted on social media.
“I mention this simply because you will not be looking at me at these forthcoming displays,” he continued.

“Supplied my own health care history and the facet-outcome profile of these jabs, my physician has advised me not to get a shot at this time,” Parada wrote.

It is really unclear irrespective of whether Parada will rejoin the band at a later time, although the drummer’s currently seeking to “discover a new way forward.”
