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!).
