King’s X have been forced to cancel their upcoming UK and European tour due to a family emergency.
The band were due to kick off the run at Munich’s Backstage Halle on September 6, but all 18 dates have now been cancelled, with a statement from the trio explaining the situation.
It reads: “It is with our deepest apologies that we must announce that due to a family emergency, King’s X will be cancelling their upcoming European tour, including their appearance at the Veruno Prog Rock Festival in Italy.
“We are truly heartbroken that we will not be able to see all of our European fans, as we have been clamouring for these dates since we announced them.
“We would like the fans and all those concerned to know the band is OK. Please respect the band’s privacy and please give them some time. We are doing everything in our power to reschedule the tour for 2020.
“Tickets will remain valid for the new dates or refunds can be obtained from the point of sale.”
Further details will be announced in due course.
