The British punk rock group, The Damned, announced that they will have to cancel their tour after a ‘catestrophic event’.
The group announced on social media that they had been forced to cancel some tour dates in their North American leg of their tour, due to an unspoken catastrophe.
The band shared a note on their social media, cancelling dates which were set to take place over the weekend.
‘We are very sorry to have to cancel our Seattle, Portland and Vancouver shows this weekend, due to an unexpected and catastrophic event at a member of The Damned’s home,’ it read.
‘We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Refunds will be available for our two headline shows at your point of purchase.’
The wording of the announcement has confused and scared fans who have expressed concern for the rock group.
The Damned is a rock group first formed in the 1970s and made up of five musicians.
The group consists of lead vocalist Dave Vanian, guitarist Brian James, bass and backing vocalist Paul Gray, keyboardist Monty Oxymoron and drummer Rat Scabies.
The group also once included bassist (and later guitarist) Captain Sensible, who co-founded the band.
The band is best known for their hits, including Neat Neat Neat, New Rose, Life Goes On, and The Shadow of Love.
