Green Day Postpone Upcoming Asia Tour Due To Coronavirus
Green Day have postponed their tour dates in Asia "due to the health and travel concerns with coronavirus".
Bad news, Green Day fans: the band have postponed their upcoming March tour dates in Asia because of the current outbreak of the coronavirus.
Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool were set to perform in Singapore, Bangkok, Manila, Taipei, Hong Kong, Seoul, Osaka and Tokyo in support of their new 4K-rated album Father Of All…, but given that some of these countries have confirmed cases of the disease, they have made the decision to postpone all Asia shows.
"We have unfortunately made the difficult decision to postpone our upcoming shows in Asia due to the health and travel concerns with coronavirus," the band say in a statement. "We know it sucks, as we were looking forward to seeing you all, but hold on to your tickets we’ll be announcing the new dates very soon."
Fingers crossed Green Day's upcoming Hella Mega Tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer this summer won't be affected – stay tuned for more on that.
