Following a blow to Perth fans over the weekend, whereby Vine's lead singer Craig Nicholls’ flight related anxiety had recurred and therefore had to cancel their gig,
an announcement has just come through informing us that The Vines have cancelled all future shows. These include their Japanese tour, Homebake, Pyramid Rock or the Big Day Out. This is all due to a rapid deterioration in Nicholls’ mental condition which will require help over an extended period of time.
“On behalf of The Vines we would like to extend our sincerest apologies to those of you who have bought tickets to see us perform and will not get to do so” said Hamish. “We are all absolutely devastated that we’ve been forced to cancel all upcoming shows as there’s nothing we love more than playing on stage before an enthusiastic audience. We ask for your understanding in this situation”
Aside from sincere apologies from the rest of the band, and thanks to management and promoters for their understanding, The final word on the matter is a plea from Nicholls’ family that sensitivity be shown at this difficult time, and that this statement be accepted as their only comment.
