Jet Forced To Cancel Philadelphia & Toronto Gigs

Jet checked in with fans on the band’s MySpace page on Thursday (September 28), announcing the cancellation of their show in Philadelphia on September 29th and in Toronto on October 1st due to singer Nic Cester’s acute laryngitis. They write, “In Australia, we say, ‘I am absolutely gutted’, when the gravity of the situation is overwhelming. After all the work we’ve done on ‘Shine On’ and on making this tour something special, all of us are very disappointed with the news of Nic’s laryngitis. Canceling shows is not something we take lightly at all. We had to make the tough decision this afternoon to cancel shows in both Philadelphia and Toronto-two cities we have played and loved playing in on numerous occasions. We promise to make these shows up as soon as Nic is recovered and we’re back on the East Coast. Once again, our sincerest apologies to all of our fans. When we return, it will of course be with a vengeance.” The full blog post at MySpace has since been removed.
