The Frank Carter-fronted Sex Pistols have been forced to postpone their North American and South American tours as guitarist Steve Jones has broken his wrist.
The quartet were set to kick off their North American tour at the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas, Texas on September 16. The tour was announced back in March.
Posting on Instagram yesterday, September 2, the band wrote:
"We have some unfortunate news to share about our upcoming North and South American performances."
Steve Jones then explained: "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 band's post continues: "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."
