Our drummer Elroy is currently suffering a painful lower back injury and is receiving medical treatment for it. We are advised that there may be some risk in the recovery process for him to play shows at this time. The good health and future well-being of the band members has to be our priority and we have been assured that Elroy will fully recover in a matter of weeks given rest and rehabilitation,” he wrote.

We apologize to all those who bought tickets for this tour but we will be announcing a new schedule as soon as we can. -Neil Finn”
