According to updates on Zakk Wylde's Twitter page, the guitarist has been forced to cancel the remaining dates of his Pedal to the Metal tour after being hospitalized for blood clots in both lungs and one leg.
Zakk was taken to a hospital after a concert in Montana on August 19, and then admitted to a hospital on August 25 in Eugene, Oregon, after which he posted this update on Twitter:
"To all our Black Label Family Worldwide, thanks for all the Get Wells. Every 48 hours in the ER to check my blood, had a CT scan today and have blood clots in each of my lungs as well as my leg. Can't sing because pushing can cause an embollism."
Guitar World wishes Zakk a speedy recovery.

I just want to write and say that I hope that Zakk starts taking better care of himself and gets better.. Hey bro don't get mad at me. I had to do it too.. I haven't had a drink in over a year and recently started a workout regiment cause lord knows we aren't getting any younger. I hope you start feeling better soon and stay healthy. We have lost enough of our heroes over the years. No need to lose another.. Much love to ya,
Mike the Hellbilly!!

We need you Zakk. You're one of the few people left who knows that metal is more about what you're playing than how fast you're playing it.

Never been much of a fan of Zakk, but I will pray for him today and everyday until I hear he's ready to rock again.
