Pearl Jam cancel tomorrow’s London gig “due to illness in the band”
Tomorrow’s gig at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been cancelled by Pearl Jam, and the band add that, “Despite best efforts, rescheduling was not possible at this time…”
Pearl Jam have just announced the cancellation of their gig at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 29.
The Seattle legends performed at Manchester’s Co-op Live on Tuesday night (June 25) with an ill Eddie Vedder, and today they share that they won’t be able to perform tomorrow “based on our current health and also having to avoid further damage” – though, to be clear, their statement just refers “illness in the band” and not specifically the frontman.
“The Pearl Jam concert scheduled for Saturday, June 29 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London has regrettably been cancelled due to illness in the band,” reads a post on the band’s socials.
“This decision was the last thing we wanted to have to make, especially as we know so many of you made travel plans based on the tour schedule. There was simply no other option based on our current health and also having to avoid further damage.
“We couldn’t be more disappointed to not play one of our favourite cities this tour. Despite best efforts, rescheduling was not possible at this time due to existing schedule commitments.
“We are deeply grateful for your support and sincerely apologise to the incredible Pearl Jam community for the inconvenience and disappointment.
“Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.”
Get well soon, PJ.
