2016
The year got off to an ominous start as a 26-show North American tour was canceled: " “It is with great sadness and regret that due to some health issues for one of the band, we will not be able to embark on our 2016 US tour. This has come as a shock to us all. Please give us the time to work this out and we hope to return to touring as soon as possible.” The exact nature of the health issues and who was affected remain unclear, but to the relief of all, the group came storming back later in the year with a series of amazing gigs.
