The Charlatans have had to cancel their upcoming tour of North America, because drummer Jon Brookes needs surgery on his shoulder.
A statement from the band explains the decision to axe next month's jaunt.
"He [Jon] has been strongly advised by doctors against undertaking 23 concerts in 28 days as this could cause severe damage to ligaments in the affected area."
"He will start a course of treatment starting in September and in the coming months to rectify the condition."
"Once again the band wish to apologize to people who have purchased tickets and those that had made travel arrangements We are as disappointed as you are, due to this unavoidable situation."
