Channel 7's Sunrise has just confirmed the band has postponed their 2 show tour of Australia due to illness in the band.... waaaaaaaaahhhh!!! :(

 

Um. That's NEXT week. What about tonight, tomorrow night and The Grammys Sunday night all in LA? What an odd announcement - not from the poster, but if they're ok now, why an illness next week.

How odd... are they predicting that someone in the band will be ill? Or has there been a mistake somewhere? :confused:

edit: wait, was this announced AFTER the Club Nokia show or before? :confused:

The illness thing seems like something made up by Sunrise cause they are derp derp.

 

However it would be interesting to find out the exact reason why.

 

Coldplay on Facebook says Personal Reason not Illness as well. Which makes me think that they just don't want to come to Australia- its okay guys, I wouldn't want to go anywhere near Sunrise either.

That's kind of weird!

 

Well, Jason (the glowbands inventor) tweeted this earlier today

 

 

And this on Tuesday

 

 

So I guess Chris is sick :\

 

Edit: according to this article Chris has a jet-lag and a nasty cold, could that be the reason?

Coldplay Postpone Australian Shows

 

Barely a week ago Coldplay announced they were travelling to Australia towards the end of February for a number of promotional shows paid for by numerous companies wishing to use the band for promotional purposes.

 

The 7 time Grammy Award winning group were then due to head straight to London to perform at the Brit Awards ceremony on Tuesday 21st February where they are nominated in two categories – British Group and British Album Of The Year.

 

However a statement issued by today by EMI, the groups record label, announced that Coldplay would have to pull out of the previously announced dates due to ‘personal reasons’.

 

“We sincerely apologise to our Australian fans for having to postpone next week’s scheduled trip,” read a prepared statement from the band. “We miss you guys and we promise we’ll make it up to you. In fact, stay tuned for a big announcement soon.”

 

EMI maintain that the gigs will go ahead at a later date, but no firm details have been set.

Maybe the personal reason is an serious illness within the family, don't forget they have parents, kids etc.

 

P.

Oh I see Chris has a cold :lol: well, I hope he gets better before the Grammies! :\

awww, so sad but i can't blame them if even one of them is a little sick. Anyway, it says on their Facebook page that there is a big announcement to come :P and i'm pretty sure we know what that means!! Hopefully they announce the aussie tour very soon now!! :) :dance:

Oh Chris, I hope you'll get well soon :(

OMG I AM DEVO :(

Jason was saying Chris isn't very well...I thought he looked a bit peaky in some of the close up pictures of the Nokia gig:

Even if it it just a heavy cold as the singer and frontman he has to be careful (espeically with ongoing voice problems) and a schedule of LA to UK for Brits to Oz and back to US is fairly ridiculous even for a healthy person.

If he's not well... how on earth will he manage those two shows and the Grammys?

:nod: This was during UATW right? Watched a video of that, he looked exhausted. Didn't even try singing the low notes either.

 

Well, they know what they're doing so I just hope the Grammys will be OK.

They won't. :P His voice is always atrocious at award shows, add the pressure of performing with Rihanna and being ill...eek.

I hope it doesn't affect the Grammy's show. I've been looking forward to that one for months now.

THE GRAMMYS WILL BE FINE.

 

:P

Hahaha, I hope so :lol:

:lol:

I hope Chris gets well soon. I guess they cancel the Australia show to get some rest and to get more time to rehearse for the Brit award (Chris will be performing with Noel). Hope all is well for the band!

THE GRAMMYS WILL BE FINE.

 

:P

 

This! Phil already twitted that the rehearsal with Rihanna was great.

no one knows how much i cried this day.....
