Fleetwood Mac have cancelled their upcoming shows in Australia and New Zealand after bassist John McVie was diagnosed with cancer.
The rock legends were due to play 14 dates Down Under but they’ve now been axed as co-founding band member John McVie undergoes treatment.
The full statement reads:
“Fleetwood Mac who has just completed the European leg of their phenomenally successful worldwide tour has announced the cancellation of their upcoming 14 date tour of Australia and New Zealand.
“John McVie, one of the co founding and original members of Fleetwood Mac is now scheduled to be in treatment for cancer during that period of time.
"We are sorry to not be able to play these Australian and New Zealand dates. We hope our Australian and New Zealand fans as well as Fleetwood Mac fans everywhere will join us in wishing John and his family all the best.”
After playing shows in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow, Fleetwood Mac’s triumphant European tour wrapped up in Finland last Friday (25th October).
