SOUTHAMPTON CANCELS BLACK CELEBRATION

The scheduled gig will no longer take place due to "unforeseen circumstances"...

THE BLACK CROWES have cancelled part of their UK tour due to "unforeseen circumstances", NME.COM can reveal.

The band were due to play four dates in the UK later this month as part of a wider tour across Europe, in support of their recent album 'Lions'.

However, the show at Southampton Guildhall, which was due to take place on July 19, has been pulled.

A spokesperson for the band told NME.COM that the show had been cancelled because of "unforeseen circumstances", but was unable to elaborate on the exact reason for the cancellation. Tickets are refundable from the point of purchase.

However, the band will still play three headline dates in the UK, which are at:
Wolverhampton Civic Hall (July 16)
Glasgow Barrowlands (17)
London Brixton Academy (20)

The group release a new single, 'Soul Singing' on July 23 via V2.
