David Draiman recently addressed fans following the conclusion of Disturbed’s tour. He shared his gratitude and plans for the band’s future in a statement posted on X.
The message expressed appreciation for everyone involved in making The Sickness 25 tour a success.
“Headed home! Thanks so much to EVERYONE that made The Sickness 25 a tour to truly remember! Crew, Management, Agent, Promoters, and ESPECIALLY my brothers in Disturbed,” Draiman said.
He also addressed the band’s touring schedule moving forward.
“Not sure when we will be headed back out. We all need a nice long break,” he continued. “Hope to see you when we do.”
The statement signals an indefinite hiatus from touring for the band as they take time to rest following their extensive anniversary tour.
The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour marked a significant milestone for the band, celebrating a quarter-century since their groundbreaking debut album. Vivid Seats reported that the tour launched on February 25, 2025, in Nampa, Idaho, and concluded on May 17, 2025, in Las Vegas, spanning 34 dates across North America.
The tour featured an impressive lineup of supporting acts including Three Days Grace, Sevendust, Daughtry, and Nothing More. Wikipedia noted that the band also released a new single titled “I Will Not Break” in February 2025, demonstrating their continued creative output alongside the anniversary celebration.
One of the tour’s most memorable moments came during the Chicago show on March 8, 2025. As Wikipedia documented, the band reintroduced their original bassist, Steve “Fuzz” Kmak, marking his first appearance with the group since 2003. This added an emotional reunion element to the anniversary tour.
The tour was not without its challenges. Louder Sound revealed that the band encountered a setback with a cancelled concert in Belgium due to concerns following Draiman’s political actions. However, they continued their North American tour without further interruptions.
