The Fratellis, a Scottish rock band, have made the difficult decision to cancel their 20th-anniversary tour. This cancellation stems from the lead singer’s illness, which has compelled the band to prioritize health over the planned celebrations.
The Impact of Illness on The Fratellis’ Tour
In a statement from the band, they reflected on their journey since forming in the early 2000s. They faced serious medical challenges that could have ended their musical aspirations. However, the band remained resilient and committed to their mission.
“With a wee bit of time, we’ll do what we did then… whatever it takes to get back onstage as quickly as possible,” the statement added. The Fratellis expressed gratitude for the positive response to their tour and shared their disappointment at needing to postpone the celebrations for their iconic album, *Costello Music*, which was released in 2006.
A Look Back at *Costello Music*
- *Costello Music* peaked at number two on the UK albums chart.
- The album features hits that have resonated with fans worldwide.
- The band received the Brit Award for Best British Breakthrough Act in 2007.
Future Plans
Despite the setbacks, The Fratellis are determined to return. They promised to announce new tour dates as soon as possible. The band is also scheduled to perform at Glasgow’s TRNSMT festival in June, emphasizing their commitment to continue playing music for their eager fans.
Fans can look forward to celebrating the legacy of *Costello Music* once new dates are confirmed. The Fratellis thank their supporters for their understanding and patience during this challenging time.
