Riddle's hospitalization has caused the band to cancel their "Almost 25th Anniversary Tour" that was scheduled to begin in January.

Sly has posted another update about Riddle's condition, stating:


"As some of you may know by now Matt was hospitalized with severe pancreatitis. Apparently it is the worst pain in the world. He already had his operation to remove his gall bladder last Friday and it went well but he was in there for two weeks and he said it was a total nightmare. Basically he is going to need rest and some post-operation work in a month from now so.


In other news our DVD is finally in the works again and interviews are already under way. We have tons of footage to work with as you could imagine and hopefully it should be something extra to have out in 2012 when we have our 25th anniversary year as a band."
