Linkin Park have pulled a number of North America tour dates as a result of injury.

The band confirmed on Tuesday (January 20) that they have cancelled shows up until February 14.

Singer Chester Bennington is unable to perform due to a leg injury that needs "immediate medical attention".

He said in a statement: "I'm really disappointed this injury has made it impossible to continue with this tour.

"The first couple of shows were just magical. We will truly miss not being with our fans for the next few weeks. Hope to see you again soon."

Linkin Park's next date was scheduled to take place tonight (January 21) in Albany.

The last show of the tour was set for Edmonton on February 14.
