Phoenix and El Paso Cancelled

Cobra Starship posted a new MySpace blog today regarding the El Paso and Phoenix shows.
Hey cobrahhhhs.
So, as you probably already know, I’ve been having serious issues with my voice since Warped (I got a big a** cyst on my right vocal cord (which is like a calloused blister or some other gross shit) which gets worse the more I use my voice. Eventually I’ll have to have surgery, but the problem with surgery is that I’ll be out of commission for at least 2 months, and it may never heal properly. So basically I’m f***ed either way. I’ve just been trying to make it through this tour as best as I can, saving my voice just for the shows [which is why I haven't been hanging as much as usual (please don't be mad! :/ ) ] , and having Ry-RY cover some of my parts. The CA shows this past weekend were AMAZING, but my voice has been KILLING me. So I went to the doctor today on our day off, and he said that if I don’t give my voice a rest and stop agitating my damaged cord, there is no way I will be able to finish the tour.
So here is the real bad news: we have to cancel the Phoenix and El Paso shows.
I’m sorry to throw you guys under the bus, but I promise we will make it up to you. Talking about my vocal problems gives me douche chills because I feel like one of those annoying divas who’s always complaining, but I swear it’s a real problem, and it sucks. So, I’m sorry again, and thank for being understanding and supportive. And hey, if it all goes to hell, at least you were there to watch.
Xoxo

Sigh, and since I live near Phoenix, you can only imagine how sad it makes me. I’ve seen Cobra Starship LIVE before, but never with Forever the Sickest Kids and Hit the Lights. Oh well, he says he’ll try to make it up to Arizona and El Paso (that’s in Texas, right?). Hopefully he keeps his word.
Although I doubt he’ll read this, Gabe, you better get better soon!
