Tour Cancelled

Talk about anything David Sylvian related.

Tour Cancelled

Postby Halloway on Mon Jan 30, 2012 10:56 am

From FB:

It is with great sadness that we announce that David Sylvian will be unable to undertake the scheduled tour in March and April 2012.

David has sustained a lower back injury that is causing him significant pain and affecting his mobility to such a degree that, at this time, he will be unable to perform.

We are hoping that with medical care his condition will improve siginificantly, and that we'll be able to reschedule the tour at a later date. We're doing all that we can to bring this unanticipated setback to a positive conclusion.

David will be writing a personal note that we will post online shortly.

In the meantime, should any of you wish to return your tickets for a refund, please contact the venues / agencies from whom you purchased your tickets. They're currently being made aware of the situation.

And a follow-up from DS:

A Message from David:

This isn't a message I'd anticipated writing. Unless memory fails me, I've managed to get this far in life without having to pull out from touring commitments entirely. I've had messages from everyone involved in the tour, all very generous and forgiving, willing me onto better health, which in my book goes to show just what a wonderful team of people we had in place. Oddly no news from the tour manager Danny White. Whilst he's one of my favorite people to tour with he may now hold a permanent grudge. Too early to tell.

My sincere apologies (and gratitude) to all who purchased tickets for the shows.

It appears there were more of you out there than I'd anticipated. I'm undergoing tests and treatment and hope, all being well, to be able to announce a rescheduling of the tour within the coming months. If there's an upside to this situation it's that, with even more time to prepare, the tour will be all the stronger for it.

I do hope to see you out there ASAP. Until then .. love and gratitude

Postponed, not cancelled. At least this leaves some hope. :)
All the best for David's health, though.

This evening David should have played here in Stockholm.
Instead I sit in headphones listening to VIctim of Stars.

Ouch! My husband had lower back issues years ago. No fun at all! When the time is right in his recovery, David needs to get an inversion table. My husband swears by it! Portable too, he can take it on tour!
