Again, sincerest apologies. All my love and respect, JD x.”Hollywood Vampires also offered their sincerest apologies, writing: “We are sad to share that the Hollywood Vampires will be rescheduling our three US tour dates this coming week.pic.twitter.com/tY4ToBsgV9— Hollywood Vampires (@hollywoodvamps) May 29, 2023“Johnny has sustained a painful injury to his ankle following his recent appearances and has been advised by his doctor not to travel.
