Cancelled! Medical issues

Ah balls

Oh hell ... ... any details?
Well, yesterday one could see that Von's voice didn't respond at all a few times towards the end of the gig, despite utmost effort ...

I'm starting to get concerned.

This is all feeling very final and very very sad. I don't like it at all
I wish Andy and everyone all the very best.

Just the usual explanation, nothing specific. New gig announced but not specified. The Virginmarys were great.

Tomorrow driving to Vienna.

I don’t think that‘s the end of touring.
But I have been really annoyed since he resumed the shows in Portugal. Von seems so irresponsible to not cure himself properly. Therefore it happens every few days that he is too ill to perform.
What I’m really angry about is that he risks severe long term effects for his health. A cold that is not cured properly can cause a heart insufficiency.
I am really very worried.
Please Von, stop being so stubborn and cure yourself!

The thing is though that the gigs which aren't cancelled are dynamite. And not just because Kai is great, but because Von sounds great. You can hear him. He's yelping again rather than mumbling. Remember those complaints from earlier this year about how Ben was the new lead vocalist? Gone.

Unfortunately there seems to be a price to pay for this.

Yes, that is somewhat confusing. I love the shows that did happen. He seems to be fine there.
But ultimately I’d rather wait till he’s completely healthy again than worry about him causing fatal damage to his health.

do we have a new date for this one? any rumors? I kinda need to plan Jan

No news about that one, yet ... ...

I guess they're trying to get at least one extra show in the area that justifies the travelling, like they did with the german/French january dates. If they can't do It probably won't happen, just like the Lisboa one. Otherwise they'd lose money doing just the cancelled show.

yeah I am afraid that they might not reschedule. this maybe my only chance of seeing them

Seen on Facebook apparently rescheduled for June 12 2024

Upload it here ... https://postimages.org/ ... to see it use the image clicky visible above in post editing ... ...

Hopefully you can see that... This is all beyond me. Anyways I saw it, don't know how true it is but thought it'd be useful for anyone to see or corroborate

I can see it following your link ... ... looks official ...
