Social Distortion haben knapp vier Wochen vor Start Ihrer Europa Tournee alle Termine dafür abgesagt. Als Grund dafür nannte die Band über die sozialen Medien “unvorhergesehene Verzögerungen bei der Produktion des kommenden Albums”. Es sollte ihre erste Europa-Tour seit drei Jahren werden. Hier das offizielle Statement der Band:
Due to unforeseen production delays with our forthcoming album, we regret to announce that Social Distortion’s upcoming European tour has been canceled. We sincerely apologize to our fans and appreciate your patience as we focus on finishing the record. Ticket holders can seek refunds at their original point of purchase
Im Nachgang gab es von Sänger Mike Ness noch ein weiteres Statement zur Tour-Absage:
Just wanted to follow up news of April European tour cancellation. I apologize to all who have been disappointed and inconvenienced by this. I feel it needs a contextual explanation. Due to the health issue which began April ‘23, this put EVERYTHING to a complete halt for an entire year. We were halfway done w record. In ‘24 we had reschedule two huge American tours which had to be postponed until I had a clean bill of health. “If I had a clean bill of health. “
Throughout this, we’ve had to get back in studio to finish this album working producer, engineer’s schedules. Everyone is playing catch up. I can’t tell you how hard I’m working on all fronts to bring you this long awaited album. Please bear with us. We will be in Europe next year w a dynamite tour so excited to share with you all.
P.S. Tickets will be refunded I assure you.
All my sincerity, Mike Ness.
Wann denn genau der Nachfolger zu Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes aus dem Jahr 2011 nun erscheint, steht wohl ebenso in den Sternen wie Nachholtermine der Tour.
