In Flames Cancel UK & Ireland Tour

terrybezer / News / 18/02/2009 17:44pm

There’s very sad news for In Flames who have had to cancel their UK & Irish dates due to some unfortunate circumstances.

In an official statement, In Flames have said:

“We are very sad to announce that the U.K. and Ireland tour [which was scheduled to take place in April] will not happen as planned. As you already know, Jesper (Strömblad, guitar) is currently at an alcohol rehabilitation clinic and is taking some time off to get better. Peter (Iwers, bass) is about to become a dad. We obviously knew about Peter becoming a dad and originally planned to have a replacement bassist, but with the recent events surrounding Jesper, we simply feel that it is not fair on the fans to see a completely different lineup, which, in our eyes, is not In Flames. Again, sorry to make any U.K. and Irish fans disappointed and we hope to make it up to you very soon!”

Bastards! They’d better re-schedule for the same venues, otherwise it makes a nonsense of being able to see them in our local club venue, up-close and personal, which is what was making this tour such an attraction.

No idea when they are likely to reschedule?
