Foxygen Cancel European Tour For "Creative Health" Reasons

On the heels of their SXSW meltdown, Foxygen has released a statement today that they've cancelled all their European Tour Dates planned for 2013:

We have some unfortunate news. We have to cancel our upcoming EU dates for May/June and upcoming EU summer festival dates. We'd like apologize to all our European fans and supporters. We know this causes frustration and headaches for ticket buyers and promoters alike. We assure you this is ultimately for the creative health of the band. We will back in EU soon and promise to make this up to all of you. Please understand. Thank you again, all of you. Your time, attention and support mean the world to us. Love, Foxygen.

Very unfortunate, and we wish the band all the best. We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic has been one of our favorite albums so far in 2013. Hopefully they will continue to be ambassadors of rock and roll for many years to come. Their North American tour dates are set to resume as planned.
