The entire tour by Lamb Of God and Dethklok has been canceled before it even began, due to the imprisonment of Lamb of God lead singer Randy Blythe.

Lamb Of God was slated to play at Toyota presents Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford on August 31. Refunds will be available at their point of purchase.

Blythe was arrested a month ago in connection with the death of a fan during a 2010 concert in the  Czech Republic, according to The Guardian. Blythe was accused of pushing a fan off the stage, who struck his head and later died.

The tour, co-headlined between Lamb of God and the Adult Swim faux-metal-band-turned-real Dethklok, was set to begin in Seattle August 1. Gojira was opening.

In a press release, Lamb of God issued the following statement:

Lamb of God wishes to thank Dethklok, Adult Swimand Gojira for their support and patience as well as all of the promoters who had dates on the tour.  Last but certainly not least, the band thanks all of the fans who bought tickets for the tour and who have been supportive of Randy and the band over the last month that Randy has been held in Prague.  Without the fans, there is no Lamb of God.
