Killing Joke tour canceled

Killing Joke have just canceled all of their North American tour dates. The band was scheduled to perform several weeks of shows in support of new album Pylon, but explained via Facebook why they had to postpone the shows:

Dear Gatherers and friends. 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 U.S. 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.

However, the band’s scheduled tourmates, The Soft Moon, are still touring as planned in support of their new album Deeper. Additionally, The Soft Moon has a remix album in the works titled Deeper Remixed Vol. 1, which will be released on February 19 via Captured Tracks.
