With Disturbed<\/a> having wrapped up the UK\/European leg of \u201cThe Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour\u201d last week, singer David Draiman<\/a> informed fans that the band is set to take a \u201clong break.\u201d He also celebrated the end of the tour by getting \u201chigh school high.\u201d<\/p>\n

The outing\u2019s final show took place October 28th in Glasgow, Scotland, and Draiman took to X\/Twitter the next morning to post a selfie of himself and address fans: \u201cHeaded home!!! Thanks so much to EVERYONE that made #TheSickness25 a tour to truly remember! Crew, Management, Agent, Promoters, and ESPECIALLY my brothers in @Disturbed. Not sure when we will be headed back out. We all need a nice long break. Hope to see you when we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The day after that, Draiman posted another selfie of himself, this time looking a bit under the influence, and writing, \u201cFeeling high school high after not burning (except Amsterdam\u2026that doesn\u2019t count) for the last three months in preparation for #TheSickness25. Reflecting on the beautiful madness of it all. Looking forward to being with family and friends. Taking a nice long break.\u201d<\/p>\n

Disturbed\u2019s tour celebrating The Sickness made some big headlines over the past year. Back in March, the band\u2019s pyro display at the United Center damaged the championship banners<\/a> of the Chicago Bulls. In a happier moment in May, Draiman proposed to his girlfriend Sarah Uli<\/a> onstage in Sacramento, and the two became engaged.<\/p>\n

However, the singer\u2019s staunch support of Israel led to a verbal dispute<\/a> with UK hip-hop act Kneecap over the summer, and a 2024 social media post of him signing an IDF missile with the words \u201cFuck Hamas\u201d led to a local mayor canceling Disturbed\u2019s show in Belgium<\/a> earlier this month over safety risks.<\/p>\n

Draiman addressed the cancellation<\/a> during a show on October 14th in Amsterdam, telling the audience, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter whether you are Israeli or Palestinian. Everyone is welcome in our house every fucking time we take the stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, it seems like Draiman and Disturbed will be off the road for quite some time. See the singer\u2019s aforementioned tweets below.<\/p>\n
