Australian/New Zealand Tour Cancelled

And what were Mick's words at the end like?

I hope it's not true but it's weird that they didn't say anything about their FB page being hacked. Also, in the videos that Desheere posted I think he looks sick. I guess we'll have to play the waiting game. Here's to hoping it's a bad, bad rumor

[Ghost_Tracker]

For whatever it's worth I just did a Google News search for "John McVie" and there is literally nothing about this. I really do think it's a hoax.

Anyone who went to Mick's M&G at APR?

Anyway: wasn't a board member @ the Oslo M&G?

Hmm. Seems the news might be true then, and whoever posted it on the band's page simply did so too soon.

Rumours NZ Fleetwood Mac concerts cancelled

Rumours are flying that Fleetwood Mac has cancelled its upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand.

Comments on Twitter and Facebook this morning claimed the shows had been canceled due to the health of John McVie, who had been scheduled to undergo cancer treatment at the time of the tour.

"We are sorry to be unable to play these Australian and New Zealand dates. We hope our Australian and New Zealand fans as well as Fleetwood Mac fans everywhere will join us in wishing John and his family the very best," a tweet said.

However, the comments were later removed and there has been speculation someone had hacked the band's official social media accounts.

The band has just finished a European tour and was due to perform in Australia before arriving in Auckland for three shows from December 4.

A press release from the concert's promoter is due out this afternoon.

It's kind of pathetic that the media get their news from FB and Twitter (like the rest of us), rather than doing their own investigative research (i.e. make some phone calls, damn it!).

I know. I was kinda surprised when I read this. I was hoping it had the news that it was all a sick hoax.

The truth is, John has not looked well the entire tour. But if it's true that he's ill, cancer is no longer a death sentence and we're all so crazy about him, if the prayers of thousands can possibly help.

The band should certainly make an official statement, either way.
