“There has been a family emergency within the band, and as a result we must cancel the remainder of our U.K. and European tour dates for this year,” the punk outfit writes in a statement. “We apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for your patience and understanding.”
The trek was scheduled into mid-August and included various headlining dates and festival sets.

Fourteen new dates have just been added to the 2022 edition of the star-studded Celebrating David Bowie tribute tour, which is scheduled to kick off October 6 in San Diego and run through a November 13 performance in Phoenix.
The newly added shows, which expands the previously announced North American trek from 15 to 29 dates, include an October 14 concert in Chicago, an October 24-25 stand in New York City and a second performance in Annapolis, Maryland, on November 1.
As previously reported, the lineup for the 2022 Celebrating David Bowie trek includes Todd Rundgren, ex-King Crimson guitarist Adrian Belew, Spacehog‘s Royston Langdon, Fishbone frontman Angelo Moore and singer/songwriter Jeffrey Gaines. The tour was created by veteran guitarist and record producer Angelo Bundini, a.k.a. Scrote, who also will perform on the trek.
The Annapolis shows, scheduled for October 31 and November 1, will feature ’80s synth-pop star Thomas Dolby as a special guest.
Tickets for the new concerts will go on sale this Friday, August 5. Visit CelebratingDavidBowie.com for more details.

“Thank you cuties for celebrating a whole year of ‘Happier Than Ever’ with me!! i wanted to give you a few more little pieces of the album,” the Grammy winner shared on her Instagram Story. Billie posted on her personal website “some voice notes from when we wrote the album.”

Saldaña succeeded Nichols in the role of the Starfleet linguist and communications officer in three reboot films, with a fourth on the way.
“Nichelle made me feel safe, told me to play her with all the confidence in the world,” the Guardians of the Galaxy series star noted, calling Nichols “a unique artist who was ahead of her time always.”
“My hope is that we continue to keep her memory alive by celebrating her amazing body of work, and by spreading the message of peace and equality amongst all people,”Saldaña continued. “She lived a long, impactful life and not only prospered, but helped so many others prosper too.”
The actress also noted Nichols’ work with NASA in recruiting and inspiring future generations of real-life space travelers of color. “I mean, she inspired Mae Jemison to follow her dreams of becoming an astronaut and that’s exactly what Mae did,” Saldaña said.
Paraphrasing Maya Angelou, Saldaña closed by saying of Nichols, “It’ll be hard to forget what she said and hard to forget what she did, and it will certainly be impossible to forget how she made us feel.”

Of all the foods Katy Perry could have tossed to her inebriated fans at a Las Vegas bar — she chose oversized and floppy slices of pizza.
Page Six reports the Grammy winner hit up a Las Vegas nightclub and had a unique way of winning over the masses. She whipped up a feeding frenzy by tossing pizza slices into the crowd, causing people to war over the cheesy goodness.
Aside from people being drunk enough to want to snatch a slice of pizza out of the air — or off the club floor — the “Roar” hitmaker tried to keep things clean at first.
Katy began throwing pizza out on paper plates, but the slices never made it past the front row. A fan account shared a Twitter video of the magic happening, with Katy opting to hurl a slice like a frisbee deep into the crowd, prompting a mass of club goers to go to war over it.
Fans are now joking about the things they’d do to get Katy Perry to slap them in the face with greasy, gooey pizza.
Thomas Rhett is showing the realities of life at home.
When he’s not performing for thousands of fans across the country on tour, Thomas can be found at home in Nashville with his wife, Lauren, and their four daughters Willa, Ada, Lennon and Lillie. Recently, Thomas took to Instagram to share a look into what dad life is really like when he’s off the road, and it’s pretty rambunctious.
In the video, the singer is silently sitting in a rocking chair in his daughters’ play room, giving an overwhelmed look at the camera as Willa, Ada and Lennon can be heard screaming in the background; 6-year-old Willa and 2-year-old Lennon play a game in the corner of the room that’s strewn with clothes and toys.
“When you just get back from being on the road for 8 days..,” Thomas captions the lively moment, adding #dadlife.
“Yup.” comments Thomas’ former tour mates, Midland.
Thomas is in the middle of his Bring the Bar to You Tour with Parker McCollum and Conner Smith, which continues through mid-October.
Brad Paisley doesn’t mind admitting it when another singer does a song better than he does — even if it’s on one of his own signature tunes.
He proved it on Post Malone’s TikTok page last week, when the rapper shared a video revisiting the 2021 performance he gave during the Matthew McConaughey-led We’re Texas benefit. Post did not one but two country covers during his set, including Brad’s “I’m Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin’ Song)” and Sturgill Simpson’s “You Can Have the Crown.”
The cover of “I’m Gonna Miss Her” — a song that was a big hit for the country star in 2001 and is still one of the most popular songs from his catalog — resonated especially well, and Brad himself hopped into the comments section with high praise for Posty.
“This is better than me,” he wrote.
Though a country song might seem like a surprising choice for Post to cover, he’s actually got a history with the genre: He’s a die-hard Shania Twain fan, for example, and he’s been hinting at a country album that might be in the works down the line.
