White Lies cancel dates due to illness

White Lies have been forced to postpone the final week of their European Tour due to illness.

Frontman Harry McVeigh managed just four songs in Munich (Mon 9th) before having to leave the stage having lost his voice due to a throat infection.

The band issued this statement:
"We apologise to fans expecting White Lies shows in Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland this week. Unfortunately we're having to postpone these dates due to illness. Those of you in Munich on Monday night will have witnessed the problem first hand, these things happen, in the last 12 months we've played over 200 shows around the world and this is the first time its happened to us, we'll be rescheduling all
of these shows for early next year"

New dates for the postponed shows in Munich, Vienna, Rome, Milan and Zurich for February 2010 will shortly be announced. All Original Tickets will Remain Valid.

White Lies tour continues November 18th at Bournemouth Academy, the first show on the UK tour.
