Sum 41 have canceled their upcoming tour of Australia, including a co-headlining slot at the Good Things Festival, citing frontman Deryck Whibley ’s ongoing struggle with his health. The news was initially shared by the singer’s wife Ariana Cooper Whibley, who revealed that the medical emergency overlapped with their eighth wedding anniversary plans.
