My Chemical Romance cancel their Soundwave appearance

[ofyourdeath.livejournal.com]

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE regretfully announce that they have been forced to cancel all upcoming engagements, including their appearance at The Soundwave Festival in Australia.

Singer Gerard Way has been having severe vocal problems and is under doctor's advisement to forgo the tour in order to receive treatment for his throat and vocal chords and protect their long-term use.

“We are really sorry that we’ve had to cancel this tour, and apologise for any inconvenience it has caused,” says singer Way. “The last thing we ever want to do is cancel shows, but we’ll be back to Australia to make it up to the fans as soon as possible.”

Patrons holding tickets to the MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE show at the Big Top, Luna Park on Thu 25 Feb are advised to contact their point of purchase to arrange a full refund of their tickets.

Me too, only without Paramore to cheer me up. Now I have pointless flights to Sydney and an empty hotel room.

Sentiments echoed re: Gerard. Take care of yourself, Mr GeeWay.

I'm so sorry honey :( Where were you flying from? It probably doesn't make you feel any better, but at least you could spend the day/night in Sydney and try and make the best of it?

I'm from Melbourne - I was planning to go with 3 mates, and we were only going to be up there for 13.5 hours. Enough to see the show, then catch the first flight home in time for Soundwave the next day. I don't know - if the airline is willing to shift our tickets, then I might try and postpone it and go up later to visit friends, or something. Turn it into a useful trip, y'know. But we got the cheap-ass flights, so it may be forfeit - I don't know. :-/

Where are you coming from? Brisbane, if your use of the word "down" in relation to Sydney is anything to go by... hope you enjoy Paramore. :)

I'm sorry too, for all of us, MCR included. :( *hugs*

dude, same here re: flights. I was going on Tiger one way and Jetstar the other, and, though I haven't checked with Tiger yet, Jetstar charge $50 plus the difference in price just to change the booking. It's looking very likely that I just lost out on $150 :/
