Thema: Bad Lieutenant: US-Tour im April 2010 abgesagt

[confusion]

LOS ANGELES, CA – April 16, 2010 — Having exhausted every possible scenario to make their way to the United States from their UK homes, the members of Bad Lieutenant – Bernard Sumner, Phil Cunningham, Jake Evans, Stephen Morris and Tom Chapman – have determined that there is simply no way for them to play at tomorrow’s Coachella festival.  The volcanic ash cloud formed by the eruption of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano on Wednesday continues to keep British airspace closed and all flights in and out cancelled.

The band is very disappointed not to be able to play for their fans.

Offiziell wurde bislang nicht bestätigt, dass die ganze Tour abgesagt wird. Inoffiziell kann man aber davon ausgehen.

Hmm--je nach dem wann wieder ein Flug möglich wäre.

LOS ANGELES, CA – Saturday, April 17, 2010 — With air travel out of the UK and Europe still at a standstill, and conditions predicted to deteriorate further due to the huge cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull, the members of Bad Lieutenant and their management have come to the disappointing decision to cancel their Chicago and New York dates that had been set to take place on Monday, April 19 and Wednesday, April 21, respectively.

“We’re stuck in Manchester,” said Bad Lieutenant’s Bernard Sumner.  “We were hoping that conditions might change at the last minute and we’d be able to come and play for our fans.  Obviously, this is a situation out of everyone’s control, and we are crushed that we won’t be coming to America for these dates.”

Since British air space was closed on Thursday morning, the band also canceled their planned appearances in San Francisco last night and today at the Coachella festival near Palm Springs, CA.
