Adam Ant pulls US tour and album

Adam Ant has been forced to postpone the release date of his upcoming album and the subsequent tour of the U.S. While no firm reason was given, the singer did post the following on his website:

Due to circumstances beyond the control of Adam Ant, his band and his representation, the release of Adam's new album has been delayed resulting in the re-scheduling of his February USA tour dates to those listed below. All advance purchased tickets will remain valid.
Adam Ant and all those involved with the tour are disappointed with the delay and apologize to the many of you that have purchased tickets in advance, however he greatly looks forward to bringing an amazing show to you all on the revised dates as follows...

September 2012
13th - Los Angeles,CA, The Mayan Theatre
14th - Las Vegas,NV, Hard Rock on the Strip
15th - San Diego,CA, 4th & B
21st - Dallas,TX, Granada Theatre

October 2012

14th - Milwaukee,WI, Turner Hall

The reason for the postponement of the tour is obvious but why the album was pushed back is the real question. It may have been a scheduling move by the record company or, and we hope this isn't the case, it could be another bout with depression for which Adam has been treated a number of times in the last few years.
