Hello all.
Im sorry to report that the whole US tour has now been cancelled due to me breaking my collarbone. We were awaiting news on how long it would take to heal but having had a new x-ray last week it is unfortunately apparent that it will not be healed in time for the shows. We are all devastated and really sorry to miss these shows. I know it has been such a long time since we last played over the pond and we all really appreciate your patience, continuing support and loyalty. I can only offer my heartfelt and sincere apologies for having to cancel the gigs.
The break is slowly healing and with some physiotherapy I should be back fit in a few weeks so the UK dates will go ahead as planned.
Thank you all for your kind wishes for recovery and hope to see you all sometime soon.
Rod Jones.
US tour cancelled due to injury.
US tour – west coast cancelled
Hello everyone.
I’m really sorry to say that the west coast dates of our US tour have been cancelled. This is due to me breaking my collarbone in an unfortunate accident. I can only apologise to those of you who have waited for so long to see us back there only to have it cancelled at the last minute. Myself and the rest of the band are absolutely gutted that we won’t be able to do these shows at this time but I will not be able to play for at least another 3 weeks. Fingers are crossed that I can be back fit for the East coast shows and we will keep you posted about this.
I know this is a disappointment to some of you who have been patiently waiting for 5 years to see us there and it is a feeling we share with you as a band.
Again I’d like to extend my sincere and heartfelt apologies and hope to see you some time in the near future.
Rod
