Due to singer Justin Young requiring a third throat surgery this year, The Vaccines will be forced to cancel a large portion of their fall tour, including all of their dates in North America.
On the band’s website, Young wrote an apology to the fans, which can be found in full here.
“In a bid to allow my throat to recover and rehabilitate completely, we will be cancelling all shows, including our trips to North America in September and Japan and Europe in October,” Young said. “We will resume with our touring commitments in Paris on October 26th before supporting our friends the Arctic Monkeys here in the UK. This allows me to have eight weeks of the best vocal therapy available, allowing the best possible chance of complete recovery.
“As I have said before, we understand any anger or upset, but we hope you all understand that we are completely devastated by this problem that has continued to plague us personally and professionally during the best year of our lives.”
