The British metallers Monuments have withdrawn from upcoming North American trek with Leprous. The four-piece have also decided to go on indefinite hiatus due to guitarists Josh Browne's health issues.

Statement from the band as follows: "Dear friends, fans and supporters. It‘s with great sadness that we must announce that we will not be able to play the upcoming US tour together with Leprous and Fight The Fight. We are also halting the songwriting process for M5 for the time being.

"As some of you are aware, Browne was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis a few years ago. To get his condition under control and in the right direction he’ll be spending a bit of time to make it more comfortable to live with. For now, we’ll be on indefinite hiatus until it’s under control. Please keep the MONUMENTS flag flying high until we return."
