TV On The Radio Forced To Cancel London Show

TV on the Radio have been forced to cancel their appearance at 4AD’s 25th Birthday bash in London tonight after a band member’s father died.

The band were due to play at the Scala tonight but a statement from 4AD reads: “Tunde Adebimpe's father died unexpectedly yesterday. He has flown back to America to be with his family, and in the absence of their lead singer TV On The Radio are unable to play at The Scala this evening.”

“However, Celebration will perform at 9pm, and the remaining members of TV On The Radio will be joining them onstage. TV on the Radio will also be playing songs from their new album as part of a DJ set. This is a world exclusive!”

It added: “All ticket holders are welcome to come to the show - the price of their tickets will be fully refundable (from point of purchase) whether they come or not. We would love it if as many people as possible could make it along tonight to see a great band.”

”The remainder of the 1980 Forward shows continue as planned - Magnetophone & Minotaur Shock perform at The Luminaire on Friday evening, and The Breeders play at Blackheath Halls on Saturday and Sunday.”

Condolences go out to Adebimpe and his family from all at Gigwise.
