Overview
Duran Duran have been forced to cancel the remaining dates on their UK tour so singer Simon Le Bon can recover from a voice problem.
Le Bon, whose laryngeal problems had already forced to postponement of several dates, has been advised to rest by doctors.
The announcement means gigs in Bournemouth tonight (May 31), Cardiff (June 1), Manchester (3) and Sheffield (4) will now be rescheduled.
Le Bon said: “I was really hoping that things would have improved enough by today to have allowed us to continue with the tour, but having spent two hours with one of the specialists, I have been advised that I need to hold off for about another week.
“I know how difficult this has been for all of the fans, as we’ve been postponing shows with very little notice, in the hope each day that the improvement would have been significant enough for me to sing again without risking any long-term damage.”
Fans are advised to hold on to their tickets because Duran Duran are expected to announce the rescheduled dates in the coming weeks.
