The Decemberists News | 11.01.07


Adored Mailing List Recipients,


With much regret The Decemberists have cancelled the remainder of "The Long and Short of It" tour.


One of our band members has been ill for a while but we thought all would be well in time for these tour dates. After a couple shows, though, it has become clear that the illness is much worse than we had initially realized. We need to return home so our friend can mend.


It saddens us to disappoint our fans. We hope everybody understands it is only because of an extreme situation that we had to cancel a tour we've all been excited about doing since the idea was originally hatched.


Our deepest apologies but at this time no plans are being made to reschedule the dates. Ticket holders should seek refunds at point of purchase.


Yours,


The Decemberists

    I saw them in England recently and Colin was really suffering. He had to leave the stage for a prolonged period and then they cancelled that leg of the tour. Whatever the problem is, it sounds pretty serious. Hope he shakes it off soon.

    So it's him?

    Did it seem voice related?
    They are such a cool group of people, I really hope they feel better and tour again soon.
