Tool peruuttaa kaikki vuoden 2020 keikkansa: ”Emme halua pitää fanien rahoja varattuna keikkoihin joista ei ole varmuutta koska ne voi toteuttaa”

Yhdysvaltalainen progressiivista metallia soittava Tool on päättänyt peruuttaa kaikki loput vuodelle 2020 suunnittelemansa keikat. Bändi on julkaissut aiheesta tiedotteen, jonka mukaan se kokee vääräksi pitää fanien rahoja varattuna keikkoihin yli vuoden ajan kun ei ole varmuutta koska keikkoja taas pystyy turvallisesti soittamaan.

”When we played what would be our final show of 2020, March 11 at Portland’s Moda Center, we believed we would be back on the road sometime this Fall. As we worked towards that goal we’ve come to realize that there is absolutely no certainty in re-scheduling dates for this Fall or 2021. State and local ordinances vary widely and no one can predict when high capacity events will safely return.

”At the same time that we were working to reschedule this tour, we read your messages. Messages of job losses, illness, emotional and financial pain. We could continue to postpone or reschedule dates for some time into 2021 but ethically, we do not think this is the right course of action. In our opinion, tying up our fans’ money for months, if not a full year, is unfair. With that in mind, we have made the very difficult decision to cancel the tour so we can help support the people who have supported us for years.

”Please know, we want nothing more than to return to the road, to play these songs for you and to celebrate our shared recovery. When the time is right, we will do just that.
