Crowded House have postponed their 2022 North American tour behind recent album Dreamers are Waiting, which was slated to stop in Toronto and Vancouver later this year.
As frontman Neil Finn wrote in a statement, "Our drummer [Elroy Finn] is currently suffering a painful lower back injury and is receiving medical treatment for it. We are advised that there may be some risk in the recovery process for him to play shows at this time. The good health and future well-being of the band members has to be our priority and we have been assured that Elroy will fully recover in a matter of weeks given rest and rehabilitation.
"As I'm sure those who recently saw us play in Europe and U.K will attest, we have developed into a formidable live band over the past year and want to bring our fans in North America the show at full strength, which is what you deserve. We apologize to all those who bought tickets for this tour but we will be announcing a new schedule as soon as we can. "
Crowded House were set to play Toronto's Budweiser Stage on September 14, ahead of closing out the tour at Vancouver's Orpheum on October 3.
Following the band's announcement, Budweiser Stage confirmed that ticket holders will receive info on the new date shortly, sharing, "All tickets remain valid for the new date. Further questions or concerns can be directed to original point of purchase."
Orpheum operator Vancouver Civic Theatres has yet to address to the postponement. You can find announcements from Crowded House and Toronto's Budweiser Stage below.
Dreamers are Waiting, which arrived in June, marked the first album from Crowded House in more than a decade, following 2010's Intriguer.
