The Black Keys Cancel New Zealand, Australia And Japan 'Turn Blue' Tour Dates

The Black Keys have cancelled further tour dates in New Zealand, Australia and Japan.
In January the duo were forced to cancel their European and UK concerts on their Turn Blue world tour due to a serious shoulder injury to drummer Patrick Carney. The tour included arena shows up to March 10 in Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, London, Cardiff and Leeds.
The band have recently announced that due to Carney's ongoing recovery they will have to cancel further shows in New Zealand, Australia and Japan up until April 23. They released the below statement on their website:
"We are very sorry to have to cancel our upcoming performances through April 23. Patrick sustained a dislocated and broken shoulder in January that required surgery. Working with the doctors, surgeons and physiotherapists since January, we had expected Patrick to be ready to return to touring in April. The recovery process and physical therapy has taken longer than anticipated and unfortunately Patrick is still unable to perform and needs additional time to heal. We thank all of our fans for their ongoing support and we look forward to getting back on the road as soon as possible.”
Nothing has been mentioned regarding The Black Keys' headline slot at the Isle Of Wight festival, so it is hoped the duo will return this summer.
