VANCOUVER (CelebrityAccess) — Gorillaz have abruptly pulled the plug on their upcoming U.S. tour.
The Getaway tour, which was announced last month, included a brief run of shows that started on September 10th at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles and concluded at Boston’s Fenway Park on September 19th.
In a statement, a rep for the band said: “We are gutted not to be able to perform for you this year. We were really looking forward to it and we hope to get back to you again as soon as we can. We love our Gorillaz family and we can’t wait to see you again.”
While Gorillaz did not offer any insight into the reason for the cancellation, ticket vendors blamed “scheduling conflicts” and “circumstances beyond our control.”
“Refunds will be issued automatically at your point of purchase and will be processed as quickly as possible, there is nothing further for you to do at this time. Please allow for up to 30 days for the refund to process.”
A virtual band, Gorillaz was launched by Blur musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett in 1998.
