Professor Green Postpones UK Tour Until May 2014
The rapper cites car accident as stalling his new album
Professor Green has postponed his upcoming 12-date November UK tour until spring 2014.
On 24th May, the rapper was crushed between two Mercedes cars travelling to a show in Gloucester badly damaging his leg.
He blames the recuperation time following the accident for preventing him from finishing his new album ‘Growing up in Public’ in time for the tour.
Saying sorry to fans, Pro said today: “Firstly, I can't apologise enough for postponing the tour, I'm as excited to see you all as I hope you are me! Everything was on schedule and then I was unfortunate enough to end up sandwiched between two cars leaving my health and album/touring schedule in absolute jeopardy. “I want to make the best possible album I can for you all and I want you to have heard the new music so as we can all enjoy the shows how they're meant to be enjoyed. I could have rushed an album for the sake of making the tour but as I hope you all know I'm in this for the music and am not willing to let it suffer due to a date in the diary. “I promise you all it'll be worth the wait, and there'll be some bits and bobs in the meantime to bridge the gap... and a new F64.
Apologies for the inconvenience, I'll see you soon x”
