Sleep’s December Tour Will Not Be Canceled Despite Matt Pike’s Partially Amputated Toe

High on Fire posted a grisly photo of Matt Pike’s partially amputated toe yesterday. I’m going to embed that at the bottom of this post should you want to keep your breakfast down this morning. The procedure forced the band to drop off their fall tour with Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust and Haunt (now in progress without HoF), but Pike’s other outfit Sleep have vowed the same fate won’t befall their planned December run.

Metal Injection notes that Sleep posted the following message on Facebook, which actually pre-dates the Toe Photo Seen ‘Round the World:

“For those asking :

“Matt is recovering and in good spirits.

“We’ll see you on the road in December.

“- Sleep”
