Erasure have cancelled the remaining shows on their ‘The Neon Tour’.
The duo was set to play concerts in the UK & Europe, South America or North America this year, but in a social media statement they confirmed the gigs have been called off.
“We are very sorry to announce that, due to unexpected family circumstances beyond anyone’s control, we have had to make the extremely difficult decision to cancel the remaining stages of The Neon Tour and we will therefore no longer be playing our planned shows in the UK & Europe, South America or North America this year,” they penned.
“Refunds are available at point of purchase.”
The statement added: “Vince and Andy are well and, although they are bitterly disappointed to be forced to cancel the rest of the tour, they would both like to send their sincere apologies to anyone affected by the cancellations.
“Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to being able to play to everyone again soon.”
‘The Neon’ scored Erasure their highest charting UK album since 1994 release ‘I Say I Say I Say’.
In our review of ‘The Neon’, Retro Pop called the album “a masterclass in synth-pop” and “a triumphant effort that ranks high in Erasure’s 35-year legacy”.
