more bad news for Grizzly Bear

news: Monday 13th November 2006

Grizzly Bear have been forced to cancel the remainder of their European tour dates. The band were due to come over to the UK at the end of November but after a double dose of bad luck they have decided to pull the plug on their current tour.

Earlier during the tour the father of guitarist Daniel Rossen's was taken ill and it looked likely that Rossen would have to return to his home in New York. Now the band have had their equipment and personal items stolen from their tour bus whilst touring Belgium.

The band issued a statement on their website that reads:

"It's with sad news we have to announce the cancellation of our final 12 European dates. Daniel's father has been struggling with cancer recently, and in the past few days he's gotten increasingly worse. We were already toying with the idea of coming home early so that Daniel could be with his family... but then the straw that broke the camel's back was when our van was broken into last night in Brussels and a good amount of our instruments and gear was stolen, leaving us literally with only the clothing on our backs. With that said, we are incredibly sorry to have to cancel. We don't have the money to buy new equipment right now and frankly, we are taking this as a sign that Daniel should get home immediately. We send all our thanks to the wonderful people that came out to our shows thus far this fall. Hopefully we'll have our lives sorted out this winter and can hit the road again sometime soon."
