Insane Clown Posse's Violent J reveals heart condition to fans, announces farewell tour
Violent J told the crowd that due to his recent heart issues, he and Shaggy 2 Dope would no longer be going on tour
Violent J, one half of the musical circus better known as the Insane Clown Posse, says the band’s touring days are coming to an end. Speaking to a crowd of fans at this year’s Gathering Of The Juggalos, Violent J revealed that the group’s next tour would be their last due to his ongoing heart issues. However, this would no stop them from making music or performing one-off shows each month. So rest assured, you have not heard the last of the Insane Clown Posse.
“Nobody escapes the trials and tribulations of being a human,” Violent J said. “This don’t mean anything like I’m going to die or anything like that. It just means that we can’t do things the way we used to do. So I just really don’t want to announce this, but we really can’t tour the way we were touring. We’re going to do one more tour next year, around the world. We’re going to go to all the major markets in the United States and beat markets. And then we’re going to go to Europe and Canada and Australia, but it’s going to be a slow tour. It’s only going to be like three or four shows a week, and that’s going to be a farewell tour.”
“I want to make it clear, making music is not affected in any way, shape or form by anything going on with Shaggy or myself health-wise,” said Violent J.
