One of 13 scheduled gigs, Rage have also been forced to pull out of their scheduled appearances at the popular Reading and Leeds festivals in August.

"Rage Against The Machine will be finishing their run at Madison Square Garden on August 11, 12 and 14 and then Zack must return home for rest and rehabilitation” confirmed the band, before adding: "The flights, travel time, and rigorous schedule in the UK and Europe are simply too much of a risk for a complete recovery.

“We are so sorry to all of our fans who have waited years to see us and hope to Rage again soon.”
