Pigeon Detectives Forced To Cancel Shows

added 02 December 2008 at 12.56

Two of the band’s UK tour dates are cancelled after singer Matt Bowman has been struck down with a chest infection…

Bowman was taken ill yesterday but despite medical treatment at the venue, the band were unfortunately forced to cancel last night’s second show at Glasgow Barrowlands and tonight’s show at Rock City in Nottingham.

The Nottingham show has been rescheduled to Tuesday December 16, and the new Glasgow date is still to be decided.

A band statement read: “The Pigeon Detectives would like to apologise to their fans for the late cancellation of two shows on their current UK tour.  Singer Matt Bowman has been struck down with a chest infection and despite medical treatment at the venue, they were unfortunately forced to cancel last nights second Glasgow Barrowlands show.

“The band have been touring non stop throughout 2007 and 2008 playing shows in America, Japan and Europe which followed the summer festivals. This current tour rounds up another successful year for the band who have now sold over a half a million records in the UK.”

Tickets for the original shows will be valid for the new dates, or refunds can be obtained at the point of purchase.
