Cold Reschedule + Cancel Spring 2026 Tour Dates Following 'Family Health Issues'

Veteran rockers Cold are in the unenviable position of having to reschedule some of their spring 2026 tour dates while having to cancel other stops as a result of dealing of with some "family health issues."

What Scooter Ward Said About the Changes to Cold's Spring 2026 Tour

In a posting to the band's Instagram, Cold vocalist Scooter Ward laid out the reasons for the upcoming changes to their itinerary.

"It’s never an easy decision for us to have to cancel or reschedule any shows for an upcoming tour," shared the singer. "With that said, family always remains the most important thing in all of our lives. Family health issues are sometimes unexpected and can create certain issues for us leaving."

"This January my mother had a major stroke while I was visiting my family for the holidays," the vocalist shared. "She ended up pulling through but it’s been a rough couple of months for her during recovery. I’m forever thankful and blessed she’s still with us. She’s finally now feeling a bit better and things are looking a bit more positive."

He continued, "I extended my stay to help facilitate all the things necessary to make both my parents lives easier during this time and to help where I could with all the day to day things. With that said, I had to make the decision to delay the start of the tour. Fortunately some of the shows were able to be rescheduled and unfortunately a few were not."

How Will the Cold Tour Be Affected?

Within the message, Ward noted that the move only impacts the band's shows between April 15 and May 2.
