The Sisters of Mercy postpone final 3 dates of October 2015 tour due to illness
The Sisters Of Mercy
The Sisters of Mercy have announced that they have had to postpone the final 3 dates of their October 2015 tour, due to what they call ‘an outbreak of illness in the band and crew’. This afternoon, frontman Andrew Eldritch was seen by a local doctor who diagnosed viral laryngitis. Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx. It causes hoarse voice or temporary complete loss of the voice because of irritation to the vocal folds (vocal cords). Eldritch was signed off from singing for (at least) 5 days.
Five of the band and crew have also been suffering with similar symptoms for a week. As a result Köln Palladium has been rescheduled to December 8th 2015 and Berlin Columbiahalle will be on December 9th 2015. Athens will be rescheduled to next year.
Good news too, the original tickets remain valid but refunds are available from the points of purchase for those who can’t make the new dates. Eldritch is thinking about playing for 180 minutes to make up for the cancelations.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
