U2 Concerts POSTPONED INDEFINTELY!
From U2.com:
"It is with great regret that tour promoter The Next Adventure announces the postponement of the final ten dates of U2's Vertigo '06 tour. This action is unavoidable due to the illness of an immediate family member of one of the band. The effected dates are listed below.
'Any fan of U2 will realise that this decision has not been taken lightly', said TNA President Arthur Fogel. 'We will announce further details as soon as we have them.'
The effected shows, which are all sold out, are: March 17th & 18th, Ericcson Stadium AUCKLAND; 21st, Queensland Sports & Athletics Centre BRISBANE; 24TH & 25TH, Telstra Dome, MELBOURNE; 28th, AAMI Stadium ADELAIDE; 31st & 1st April, Telstra Stadium, SYDNEY; 4th, Nissan Stadium YOKOHAMA; 8th Aloha Stadium, HONOLULU.
We'll bring you more news on U2.Com as we get it."
From the Melbourne Herald Sun:
"...Speculation is rife that guitarist The Edge's seven-year-old daughter is suffering a serious illness.
The Edge made his only public comment on his daughter's illness when he dedicated one of U2's Grammy Awards to her in February.
About 100,000 fans booked tickets for U2's two shows at Telsta Dome on Friday and Saturday next week.
The decision to postpone was made at the last minute, with frontman Bono already holidaying in Sydney with his family.
News on possible rescheduled dates or ticket refunds is expected to be announced today...
"...Some industry insiders yesterday cast doubt on the U2 shows being rescheduled.
The massive equipment would have to be sent to the other side of the world for just 10 shows."
From stuff.co.nz:
"Promoters The Next Adventure announced yesterday that the final 10 dates of the Vertigo tour, including both shows at Ericsson Stadium in Auckland next weekend and five in Australia, had been postponed indefinitely.
The Next Adventure president Arthur Fogel said the decision to postpone was unavoidable because of the illness of an immediate family member of one of the band. The Irish Voice newspaper reported in January this year that the seven-year-old daughter of guitarist The Edge, or Dave Evans, had leukaemia.
New Zealand publicist Bridget de Launay said she did not know when the shows would be rescheduled – and could not comment on whether tickets would be refunded."
