Australian/New Zealand Tour Cancelled

[Gypsy0033]

Also if this is not true then the Fleetwood Mac FB page should announce it as a hack , don't you think? Now there's fans everywhere thinking John has cancer and the tour is cancelled. :/

Would someone be able to change the title of this topic to clarify that the "news" is tenuous at best?

no explanation why

Wow, it's crazy how many people reported this to be true without getting an official statement.

Just went to the FM FB page..there are all kind of people that still believe this to be true and some are asking what the heck is going on. The thread it was posted in had over 1000 reply's when I saw it. A lot of people saw it. There should be a statement..one would think.

there was an official statement.

it was since pulled from FM FB page. some random people tweeted FM FB page was hacked but that may or may not be a speculation. nothing was announced on their FB page since that initial announcement was pulled..

their twitter acct didn't tweet anything since Christine's London show.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to John. Hopefully they are not necessary and this is just a ridiculous rumour.

If any of this is true (I'm skeptical), management could be trying to prepare something official, rather than a passing comment on FB. But Live Nation would be the ones making any official announcement since they are ultimately responsible for the tour.

On the heels of the John McVie death rumors from yesterday, this is probably also untrue.

yes, i believe that was one of the speculations - that someone jumped the gun on FB before all the ducks for LN etc announcements were put in a row.

if true, it would be good to put their ducks in a row fast, and if the page was hacked, let people know fast too. but extrapolating from LB UK/Ire tour cancellation events in 2011, LN / PR are all off for the weekend and will not issue anything till Monday.

hope it's not true.

You would think that when the post about John was taken down they would have at least said something about being "hacked" and that everyone was alright and the tour was still on...

You and I are thinking alike, Daniel. I also want to think that Christine joining the band for some shows could be explained by bad news of this kind. I really hope it's not true and so will reserve further comment until we know for sure.

What terrible news to start the day. I really hope it's not true, but a hoax seems like a strange explanation to me. I hope Live Nation can give us some info sooner rather than later.

Just saw this on twitter

Bridget de Launay - Promoter of Fleetwood Mac tour of NZ - says they will send out a release about the tour in 3 hours time

Well, darn.

[SorcererJP]

There was no word on John's disease or cancellation at the troubled Amsterdam-show...
