The tour planned for March by New Model Army has to be postponed to October due to illness. Already purchased tickets remain valid.
In January, drummer Michael Dean had to undergo knee surgery. Unfortunately, there were complications, and Dean is still experiencing pain that prevents him from performing the dates in March.
The band released the following statement via Facebook:
Quote:
MARCH DATES POSTPONED UNTIL OCTOBER
Michael Dean went for a routine minor knee operation in January with an expected recovery time of a couple of weeks. However, due to surgical complications, he developed blood clots in the muscles of his calf. These remain serious despite several weeks of intensive treatment, and we have now been advised by the Consultant in charge that it will be impossible for Michael to be in a fit condition to tour by mid-March.
So, with great regret, we have been forced to postpone the coming shows in Germany, Scandinavia, and Holland until October. Please hold on to all tickets purchased while we reschedule the shows as all existing tickets will still be valid.
Said Michael, “My leg is recovering, but right now it is still very painful. Many of the places we are visiting in October we haven’t played in a while. The postponement will ensure when we play we guarantee our best possible show to make the extra wait worthwhile!”
The rescheduled dates in October will be announced next week. Note: UK shows in April are not affected.
Thank you
