Faith No More cancel UK tour and all upcoming shows
The band have released a statement this morning
Faith No More have cancelled their upcoming June 2022 UK tour and all of their concerts in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
Mike Bordin, Roddy Bottum, Billy Gould, Mike Patton and Jon Hudson released a joint statement this morning (10th December) confirming their twice rescheduled shows won’t be going ahead due to their “current challenges.”
“An update from our camp at FNM,” the quintet wrote. “Unfortunately due to our current challenges, we aren’t going to be ready to perform for the upcoming Australian, New Zealand and UK/European tours.”
They added: “To play at anything less than 100% after so long is not an option for us. We apologise to all of you ticket holders, and are forever grateful to our fans for your support and understanding.”
Back in September, Mike Patton said he wouldn’t be going ahead with Faith No More and Mr. Bungle’s North American shows due to his mental health.
“Sorry to report that due to mental health reasons, I cannot continue with the currently scheduled Faith No More and Mr. Bungle dates,” Patton wrote at the time.
“I have issues that were exacerbated by the pandemic that are challenging me right now. I don’t feel I can give what I should at this point and I am not going to give anything less than 100 percent. I am sorry to our fans and hope to make it up to you soon.
“The bands support me in this decision and we look forward to working through this in a healthy way.”
Everyone at Kerrang! Radio wishes Mike and all of Faith No More well.
