Triumph has canceled the 17 concerts making up the second leg of its 2026 reunion tour, citing unforeseen medical circumstances involving the band. The Canadian hard rock group did not identify who was affected.

The Rock and Roll Machine Reloaded dates were scheduled to start Nov. 17 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and finish Dec. 19 in London, Ontario. The band said the circumstances would prevent rehearsals and the concerts from proceeding as scheduled. Refunds will be issued automatically through the outlets where tickets were bought.

In its social media statement, Triumph apologized for the short notice and thanked fans for their support. The group described the outlook as positive and said it intended to return to performing as soon as possible.

Separately, guitarist and vocalist Rik Emmett recently told Talkin' Bout Rock that he had experienced alopecia areata and lost his hair after the first leg ended in June. He said he felt healthy and capable of playing and singing. Triumph did not connect his condition to the cancellations.
