FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:9th March 2006
U2's Vertigo '06: Final 10 Dates Postponed

It is with great regret that The Next Adventure and Michael Coppel announce the postponement of the final ten dates of U2's Vertigo '06 Tour. This action is unavoidable due to the illness of an immediate family member of one of the band.

The effected dates are listed below."Any fan of U2 will realise that this decision has not been taken lightly', said TNA President Arthur Fogel. 'We will announce further details as soon as we have them."

The affected shows - which are all sold out - are:

March 17 & 18 AUCKLAND Ericcson Stadium
March 21 BRISBANE Queensland Sports & Athletics Centre
March 24 & 25 MELBOURNE Telstra Dome
March 28 ADELAIDE AAMI Stadium
March 31 & April 1 SYDNEY Telstra Stadium
April 4 YOKOHAMA Nissan Stadium
April 8 HONOLULU Aloha Stadium

I could see that happening for some reason. Something would interfere to postpone it......which could mean cancelling too.

Hand Picked yesterday! U2 today!!!!

Hand Picked is a Riverland based music festival - was to feature The Living End.

See Triple Js One Night Stand thread on this forum for more info.

I just can't believe U2 postponing as well!

One of the boys immediate family members is very ill therefore it is postponed. Quite standard practice. Bono the chest beater and the boys who fluked the Grammys aren't all they are cracked up to be

weak. Ill bet they'll do a Willie Nelson/Sir Paul and not come back.

Apparently Edge's daughter (aged seven) has been diagnosed with leukemia, although that's only a rumour at this point obviously.

Geez, for putting family first??? I'm disappointed too but you gotta think about what The Edge is going through. Completely understandable that they are postponing and they should take off as much time as they need.
