Albert Hammond Jr. has been forced to call off his tour of Australia, including a slot at Splendour In The Grass, due to a “severe throat infection”. The statement from The Frontier Touring Company reads: “Albert is suffering a severe throat infection that has resulted in him losing his voice. He has been advised against performing by his doctor.”
All patrons holding tickets to any of the shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane can seek a refund from the original point of sale. The shows are likely to be rescheduled for later in the year.
And on the Splendour side of things: “Splendour in the Grass organisers would like to advise Albert Hammond Jr was a welcome late addition to the festival line up this year and playing times were adjusted to accommodate his performance. There will no replacement announced for this time slot and the playing times will now return to the original schedule for the Grant McLennan stage on Sunday August 3rd.”
Whats a shame.........hopefully Albert fully recovers and comes back soon to play some kick-ass shows!!!
