Helmet 's Page Hamilton suffered a broken collarbone during a recent mountain biking expedition, forcing the band to postpone its planned tour.

The tour, originally scheduled to get underway in September, is now expected to open in October. The new itinerary hadn't been finalized at press time.

The release date for "Size Matters," Helmet's new album, has been pushed back to Oct. 5 from its planned Sept. 14 release.
