U2 Scraps Rest Of World Tour

Reuters reports that U2 have postponed the Asia-Pacific leg of their sold-out world tour due to a family illness, their promoter said on Thursday. “This action is unavoidable due to the illness of an immediate family member of one of the band,” tour promoter Arthur Fogel said in a statement on the band’s Web site. “Any fan of U2 will realize that this decision has not been taken lightly. We will announce further details as soon as we have them.”
