Low Cancels Shows Amid Mimi Parker’s Cancer Treatment

According to BrooklynVegan, Minnesota-based indie rock band Low has had to cancel some of their upcoming shows in Wales, Scotland, England and Scandinavia. The cancelations are due to drummer and vocalist’s Mimi Parker’s ongoing battle with cancer which requires extensive treatment. 

As some of you know, Mimi has been fighting [ovarian] cancer. Recent developments and changes in treatment have made extensive travel impossible at this time. Our hope is that she will respond to new treatments and be able to play the shows we have scheduled for the fall,” the band’s statement reads. “We are very sorry for the inconvenience of ticket shuffling and travel expenses/changes. We welcome your positive hopes/prayers as we hope and pray for you all.”

 The band is currently scheduled to appear at Primavera Sound in Los Angeles, California on September 17. They will be traveling through Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, South Carolina, and Michigan before ending their 2022 trek of the U.S. with a show in Chesterfield, Missouri at the Factory on October 13. Low’s UK and European tour dates will kick off on October 31 in Porto, Portugal at Casa de Musica. From there, the band will be playing various concerts in Spain, Germany, Belgium and the UK. The trek will end on November 19 in Leeds, United Kingdom at the Brudenell Social Club.

Low will also be returning to the U.S. for a brief tour of the west coast beginning with a show in Denver, Colorado at Marquis Theatre on March 24. The opening show will be followed by concerts in Utah, Oregon and Washington before ending with three back-to-back performances in California in San Francisco and Sonoma respectively.
