Sex Pistols Featuring Frank Carter have been forced to postpone their upcoming South American and North American tour dates after guitarist Steve Jones suffered a broken wrist.
The band posted the following message on its Facebook page, including a direct quote from Jones:
“We have some unfortunate news to share about our upcoming North and South American performances. We’ll let Steve explain what’s going on:
‘I’ve got some good news and bad news. What do you want first? Okay, the bad news: I’ve broken my wrist, so unfortunately we won’t be doing any shows for a while. The good news is the surgeon said I will be back playing guitar in the not-too-distant future. The other good news is I’ll be 70 tomorrow! God bless, and God save the wrist.’
The performances will be postponed and rescheduled when Steve has fully recovered. Please check local venue websites and our social media for more information. We appreciate your understanding and support.”
The North American tour was supposed to kick off September 16th in Dallas, and run through an October 17th show in Las Vegas. Along the way, the band was set to play Riot Fest in Chicago and CBGB Fest in Brooklyn.
