Underworld scrap European tour
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly October 23rd, 2007

Underworld have called a halt to their current European tour, after the Rick Smith-shaped half of the duo was struck down by fatigue.

The decision comes after the cancellation of the group's date at the London Roundhouse on Friday.

All shows up 'til the 11th of November, including appearances at the Electronic Beats Festival in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Affected dates are listed below:

October
26 Munich Tonhalle
27 Prague Electronic Beats Festival
30 Vienna Gasometer
31 Bratislava Electronic Beats Festival

November
1 Frankfurt Cocoon Club
3 Berlin Columbiahalle
5 Rotterdam Massilo
6 Koln Paladium
8 Hamburg The Docks
9 Amsterdam Heineken Music Hall
10 Gent I Love Techno

An official statement posted on the band's website read:

"It is with great regret that we have had to pull-out of the European leg of the current Underworld tour due to severe illness in the band.

"More details will follow, but in the meantime, we appreciated your patience and understanding."

Speaking again in an interview with BBC 6Music, second member Karl Hyde expounded slightly: "“It has taken its toll on him, but the Welsh are a resilient bunch and he is bouncing back now.”

Boing, boing, boing.
