The band had been due to perform at the Opera House, Winter Gardens, Blackpool, on January 19 this year - but organisers fear the current Covid-19 situation will create too many

logistical problems.

The tour across the UK and Europe was due to run from January 9 until February 21, 2022.

"The show must go on, and we are working with venues and partners now to reschedule the dates for the same period in 2023.

"We ask audiences to bear with us whilst we get this work done so that we can offer an exchange for an alternative date.

"Of course, if that is not suitable customers will be entitled to a refund.

"Thank you for your support and understanding during these challenging times."
