After being diagnosed with not only strep throat but with Laryngitis as well, Shadows Fall singer Brian Fair refuses to cancel any shows because of his voice (or lack of).

Fair states ...

I have never cancelled a show due to poor health and don't plan on it now. The support of our fans means the world to us and I would never do anything to let them down. Besides, if Curt Shilling can lead the Red Sox to a World Series victory with a sewn up ankle then I can tough it out and bring the metal.

Shadows Fall is currently on tour with Damage Plan and the Haunted.

"The support of our fans means the world to us and I would never do anything to let them down"

How's about destroy your vocal cords during a spurt of hubris and never sing again? Take a pass until you are healed, dude, and don't do something that you will regret for the rest of your career...

I can see he possesses a lot less intelligence than I previously thought

Sounds like he's begging for some long term pain--the guitarist does most of the clean sung vocals anyway, especially live, but it's the screaming that kills the throat. He should probably take the time off and just reschedule the shows at the end of tour. Metal can wait.

I am imagining him throwing up his vocalcordes after a realy huge growl. The image won't leave my mind. He should chill, fans will probably be more pissed off if he never sings again.

Axl Rose did this once too, and his voice is as good as ever....
