Bay Area reunion shows by Rage Against the Machine are postponed.

Rage Against the Machine is one of the most influential political rock bands there has ever been.

 

RATM was founded in 1991, and its distinctive blend of alternative radio rock and rap was fueled by frontman Zack de la Rocha’s vituperative rhymes and the experimental guitar playing of Tom Morello. The band disbanded in 2000 following the release of numerous critically praised albums that featured classic songs like “Killing in the Name” and “Bulls on Parade.” They have regrouped multiple times since then, with a tour that was originally scheduled for 2020 being postponed to 2022 owing to the coronavirus outbreak. Rap group Run the Jewels was supposed to open for RATM when they performed in the Bay Area again on March 3 and 5, 2023, at the Oakland Arena. San Francisco had no planned performances.

This morning, the band announced through Instagram that the remainder of their North American tour would be scrapped. De la Rocha’s leg injury, which caused him to play several subsequent gigs while seated, occurred during a concert in Chicago in July, according to the article. It turns out that the damage is so bad that future performances won’t be possible.

 

“Unfortunately, this period calls for extensive work and healing. Only 8% of my left Achilles tendon, which has a serious rip, is still intact. And even that part is seriously damaged. It goes beyond just being able to perform once more and includes fundamental functioning going ahead “In the Instagram post, he wrote.
