“Following the postponement of the three remaining UK tour dates yesterday, we have unfortunately had to cancel the German and Swiss dates for the upcoming European Tour in January/February 2022 and postpone the Netherlands and Belgium,” they wrote in a statement. Twitter.
“Over time, it became very clear, due to the combination of venue capacity restrictions, curfews, and travel implications, that the tour simply could not proceed as planned.”
