Explosions In The Sky have been forced to pull the plug on upcoming UK tour dates including next weekend’s ATP festival.
The band’s management issued the following statement late yesterday: "I sincerely regret to inform you that due to serious illness in one of EITS' families, the band will be cancelling all tour dates starting today (May 9) through to September 1 2007. All dates after September 1 are remaining confirmed for the time being.”
"The band are extremely sorry for any inconvenience this causes, and will attempt to re-schedule as many dates as possible as soon as possible."
The cancelled dates are as follows:
May
19 Minehead All Tomorrow’s Parties
July
10 London Royal Festival Hall
11 Manchester Academy
12 Brighton Concorde
13 Southwold Latitude Festival
14 Glasgow Indian Summer
Gutted.
Although, I'm pretty sure the gutted-ness is felt by the band as well.

Hi everyone,
We have had to cancel all of our remaining summer shows (all shows scheduled for May, July, and August). We're facing a serious illness in one of our families and traveling around the world and playing shows is just not an option for us at the moment.
We are truly sorry about this. We'll try and keep in touch about when any of these shows might be made up or when we might be touring again.
As always, thanks for caring.
Love,
Explosions
Guess that includes primavera as well.
Gutted
