TORONTO — Rock band Linkin Park announced Tuesday it is cancelling the rest of its tour of the U.S. and Canada because lead singer Chester Bennington injured his leg.

The group was able to play only the first three shows on The Hunting Party tour.

“I’m really disappointed this injury has made it impossible to continue with this tour,” Bennington said in a statement posted on the Linking Park website.

“We will truly miss not being with our fans for the next few weeks. Hope to see you again soon.”
