Fans of the band Triumph are worried about the band following the announcement that they were forced to cancel the second leg of their Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded tour. The Canadian rock band returned to the road in April for their first tour in more than 30 years, but while on break ahead of the second leg, they abruptly canceled their remaining dates.
In a post to Instagram on Oct. 30, original bandmates Rik Emmett and Gil Moore announced the cancelation of the remaining 2026 dates, which were scheduled to resume on Nov. 17, due to “sudden and unexpected medical circumstances affecting the band.”
“With the second leg of the tour set to begin in just under three weeks, these circumstances prevent us from being able to rehearse and move forward with the current shows as planned,” the band said in their statement.
Triumph did not indicate which band member was experiencing the medical issue but noted that the outlook was “positive” and that the band expects to return to the stage “as soon as possible.”

For the first leg of the 2026 tour, original Triumph bassist Mike Levine did not appear due to medical issues. Emmett and Moore were instead joined by bassist Todd Kerns, drummer Brent Fitz, and guitarist Phil X, per Metal Voice.
With no clarification on which band member is experiencing medical issues, fans remain concerned.
“Don’t forget, Brent Fitz was in a bad car accident a week ago,” one commenter wrote on Facebook.
“It’s either Rik or Gil,” another speculated. “As great as the band is, any of the other guys, they would have found a replacement.”
“I guess this is why Rik & Gil didn’t do Eddie Trunk Sirius XM show Yesterday as planned,” another noted.
“Rik was already dealing with alopecia when we saw them in May,” another added. “I read about the serious car accident the drummer was in recently and thought that was more the reason.”
“To be clear, the car accident in Vegas did not include Gil or Rik and it was about two weeks ago. The cited health issue is not related to the car accident; it is a separate issue. Obviously, best wishes to the band,” another chimed in.
“Triumph was the first concert I took my daughter to (1985ish in Seattle),” another fan wrote on Triumph’s official Facebook page. “We were looking forward to doing it again. But the health and wellbeing of the band is much more important than a trip down Memory Lane. I’m happy the outlook is positive. Best wishes, guys.”
Triumph kicked off the Rock and Roll Machine Reloaded 2026 tour in April 2026 at GLF Memorial Gardens in Sault Ste. Marie, ON, decades after their last full tour, 1993’s Edge of Excess.
The band is best known for the 1970s and ‘80s hits “Lay It On the Line,” “Fight the Good Fight,” and “Magic Power.”
