Brad Wilk Confirms Rage Against the Machine's End to Live Tours and Shows

Brad Wilk, drummer for Rage Against The Machine, announced on Instagram that the band will not be touring or playing live again, disappointing fans who were awaiting rescheduled dates after previous cancellations. The announcement follows the band's recent induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, which only guitarist Tom Morello attended. The band's history of activism and radical performances were highlighted during the ceremony by inductor Ice-T. The band's comeback tour had been postponed several times and was ultimately canceled in October 2022 after singer Zack De La Rocha injured his Achilles tendon. Bassist Tim Commerford also disclosed his battle with prostate cancer. Despite internal differences, Morello emphasized the ongoing mission of their music and encouraged fans to continue the band's legacy of activism.
