MTV reports that next week's US concerts have been postponed because singer Hayley Williams has contracted laryngitis.
Writing on the band's website, Williams apologised for rescheduling the concerts.
"This week I saw one of the best doctors in the country to check on my vocal chords," she said. "I knew it wasn't going to be good but knowing that we were just starting our tour, I was trying to remain positive about it.
"In short, I've got laryngitis and need several days of vox rest. I just have to be smart about this whole thing."
She added: "IT SUCKS! But I'm doing everything I can, taking every precaution, to get it right. I wanna be on tour, man!
"All in all, this is the reason for the postponement of the upcoming shows. Just know that we WILL be coming back for you guys! The entire tour is going to happen... and I'm psyched."
