Nickelback fans are about to get their money back.

Hours before the "How U Remind Me" rockers were scheduled to play a concert in Wheatlands, Calif., band members Daniel Adair, Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger and Ryan Peake announced that they have canceled their remaining No Fixed Address North American tour dates, effective immediately. The band's lead singer, Chad, was diagnosed with a cyst on his voice box. He will undergo surgery in three weeks following vocal rest. Ticket refunds will be available at the point of purchase.

Previously, Nickelback had canceled shows over the weekend.

"I am sorry I have to interrupt the party this summer and I am definitely not thrilled with the prospect of being silent for many weeks to come when I could be out there playing for our fans," Chad told E! News in a statement. "I am relying on my doctor and his team to help get my voice back in good form as quickly as possible." The 40-year-old singer's medical team anticipates that he will make a full recovery.
