SILVERCHAIR
RESCHEDULE 4 SHOWS DUE TO
DANIEL JOHNS THROAT INFECTION
July 12, 2007
-- Silverchair has postponed four shows on their current U.S. Tour
to allow singer, Daniel Johns, to recover fully from a case of laryngitis.
Daniel caught the common
viral infection of the throat earlier this week after flying Sydney/Los
Angeles/Toronto/New York/Los Angeles over just four days. It severely
impeded his vocal performance on the "Tonight Show With Jay
Leno" on Tuesday, July 10.
While his doctor had
initially been hopeful that Daniel's laryngitis would clear up “in
a day or two,” he has since advised that the Silverchair frontman
should “avoid singing for 4 to 6 days” in order to be
guaranteed of making a full recovery. The doctor also advised that
singing during this time could risk permanent damage to Daniel's
voice, so the band has no choice but to reschedule these four important
shows and to sincerely apologize to those who will be inconvenienced
by this change of plans.
The San Diego, Anaheim,
Los Angeles and San Francisco gigs will now take place in mid-November
at the same venues. New dates are as follows:
Anaheim - House Of Blues
- Sunday, July 15 Rescheduled for Wednesday, November 14
San Diego - House Of
Blues - Friday, July 13 Rescheduled for Friday, November 16
San Francisco - The Independent
- Tuesday, July 17 Rescheduled for Sunday, November 18
Los Angeles - The Wiltern
- Saturday, July 14 Rescheduled for Tuesday, November 20
Patrons holding tickets
for the original dates simply need to retain them and use them to
gain admission to the rescheduled dates. Otherwise they can seek
refunds from their place of purchase.
Dates for the rest of
Silverchair's Young Modern World Tour are not expected to be affected
in any way by this temporary throat infection. Again, while it is
obviously beyond their control, Silverchair apologizes for the inconvenience
caused by this unfortunate turn of events.
