Philladelphia's Blacklisted have been forced to drop off their tour supporting Ignite due to illness.

The band explained the situation:

Our guitar player(tim) has been sick for the last few days. So Thursday on our way to Baltimore he decided to go into the emergency room at John Hopkins University and get checked out. After a few hours of waiting, blood tests a potential heart attack scare and an overnight stay, we have found out tim has some type of infection around his heart. He will be in the hospital till Monday trying to get some of the fluid around his heart relieved. After that he will probably be prescribed some type of medication that will help him through the rest of the sickness then return to perfect health.

However, the band should be recuperated and ready to resume their upcoming tour alongside Verse, trip to Puerto Rico and then the dates with Gorilla Biscuits.

Throughout, the band is planning to write material for their forthcoming full length and follow up to …The Beat Goes On. They plan to enter the studio at the end of the year to record the album, and are promising a " faster, harder, heavier, and a much more intense approach. "
