The Police Cancel Gigs On World Tour

Worst lyricists' voice gives out...

The Police Cancel Gigs On World Tour Add to My Fav Bands List
Share

Veteran rockers The Police have cancelled two concerts on their world tour due to singer Sting’s “serious voice problems”.

Yesterday’s (October 9th) concert in Antwerp, Belgium and tonight’s gig in Mannheim, Germany have been called off due to Sting suffering from a throat infection. 

Concert organisers Live Nation have promised disappointed fans that a rescheduling announcement will be made “as soon as information is possible”.

Sting, who yesterday topped a poll of ‘Worst Lyricists of All Time’ in Blender Magazine, reformed the multi-million selling band for a world tour in May after a 21-year hiatus.

They will return to the UK between October 15 and 20 for gigs at The Manchester Arena, Cardiff Millennium Stadium and Wembley Arena.

    • Something to do with being voted worst lyricist, maybe? Coincidence? I think not. Seeing as Antwerp & Mannheim haven’t been rescheduled yet I don’t hold out a lot of hope...

  • Apparently Cardiff and London shows are still going ahead, according to their website. I really hope so anyway, I’m flying down from Glasgow to see them in cardiff on friday so it’s already too late for me to cancel tomorrow nights hotel accomodation and flights!
