The Vaccines have been forced to postpone their upcoming world tour as vocalist Justin Young has been told he must face a third operation on his throat this week. The band were scheduled to perform dates across the US, Europe and Japan, but have expressed their disappointment at having to postpone the extensive series of gigs.
According to early sources, only dates in September and October will be affected, and The Vaccines still plan on performing as a support slot on the Arctic Monkeys’ upcoming tour this November.
Speaking about the news on the band’s official website, singer Justin Young wrote: "Unfortunately, the doctor has now confirmed that, this week, he will be operating on my throat for a third time this year."
He continued: "It was the wait for this decision, and no other reason, that meant we were able to complete commitments over this last week and why we will not be able to complete those in the coming weeks. This allows me to have eight weeks of the best vocal therapy available, allowing the best possible chance of complete recovery.
"We are completely devastated by this problem that has continued to plague us personally and professionally during the best year of our lives. Cancelling shows in exchange for repeated hospital visits plain f**king sucks. We are simply following the doctor's orders. You have our word on that. We need to be able to perform to the best of our abilities without doing permanent damage to my throat."
