The Vines Cancel Homecoming Tour
Singer Craig Nichollls' deteriorating mental condition has led to the cancellation of The Vines' forthcoming tour...
The garage rockers were set to play numerous dates across Japan as well as their native Australia in November, though have been forced to cancel due to singer Craig Nicholls' suffering from Asperger's Syndrome.
The band released the following statement on their website: "It is with a great deal of regret that The Vines announced that they have cancelled all of their Australian festival appearances - Homebake, Pyramid Rock and Big Day Out - and their forthcoming Japanese tour scheduled for late November.
"Craig Nicholls’ mental condition has deteriorated extremely rapidly over the past month to the point where he requires immediate help over an extended period of time."
Drummer Hamish Rosser added: "On behalf of The Vines we would like to extend our sincerest apologies to those of you who have bought tickets to see us perform and will not get to do so.
"We are all absolutely devastated that we've been forced to cancel all upcoming shows as there's nothing we love more than playing on stage before an enthusiastic audience. We ask for your understanding in this situation."
