Noughties rock band ‘devastated’ as they’re forced to cancel UK tour just a day before it starts as they issue apology to fans

A noughties American rock band have issued an apology to fans after being forced to cancel their UK tour just a day before it starts.

One-hit wonders Iglu & Hartly, whose track In This City reached number 5 in the UK singles chart in 2008, were due to play eight dates across the country, with the first gig kicking off in Southend-On-Sea on August 14.

However, frontman Jarvis Anderson took to Instagram to reveal in a video that they’ve had to scrap the dates for ‘sensitive personal reasons’.

He then shared a statement to his stories which read: ‘I am devastated to have to say this, but I have to cancel our UK tour – for sensitive personal reasons received late last night, which are completely beyond our control.

‘We are absolutely heartbroken that we are unable to put on these incredible shows for you all at this time, but please be assured as soon as things are settled we will be immediately looking at ways we can work towards revisiting in the UK in the near future.’

Jarvis’ video on his grid concluded with the message: ‘Love you all, thank you so much for understanding.’
