Sum 41 has indefinitely postponed the remainder of dates on their Screaming Bloody Murder tour for 2011 due to a medical condition Deryck Whibley is currently undergoing treatment for. In order to fully recover, Deryck is under doctor’s orders to start a rehabilitation program and to recuperate for the rest of 2011.
