Nach der zunächst einmaligen Absage seines Gigs beim SOUTHSIDE-Festival am vergangenen Samstag, hat DAVID BOWIE nun auch alle weiteren Tourdaten im Juli komplett abgesagen müssen - die Volkskrankheit "Rückenprobleme" hat auch ihn ganz schwer erwischt.

Auf der offiziellen Homepage kann man hierzu Folgendes detailiert erfahren:

"Due to the continuing pain and extreme discomfort from a trapped/pinched nerve in his shoulder and to prevent possible further injury, David Bowie has been advised by his doctors to cancel his performances at the eleven remaining European festival dates throughout July. Due to the unpredictable nature of the condition and in an effort to give fans as much warning as possible, (and indeed, to aid promoters in finding a replacement headliner in time for the festival dates) David Bowie very reluctantly agreed to take the advice. David, and everybody involved with the tour, is very sorry for the hardship that this difficult decision may have caused. We realise that many of you will have lost money on non-refundable travel and festival tickets. But, anybody that knows David will understand that he doesn´t take these decisions lightly and I´m sure you all realise how bad he will be feeling about not being able to complete the tour. Thank you all for your kind words on the message boards and for your continued understanding that had there been an alternative to this course of action, it would have been taken."
