Beach Boys founder and front-man Brian Wilson has released a statement via his concert promoter about cancelling his UK tour dates set for September 2015. The statement read:
‘Due to the overwhelming success of Brian Wilson’s movie ‘Love and Mercy’ which has opened in the US to critical acclaim, Brian has had to postpone his current UK tour planned for September 2015 due to commitments in the US. He will be back in the UK and Europe in 2016 with a string of concerts to mark the 50th Anniversary of his seminal album ‘Pet Sounds’, which will be his final European tour. Brian says ‘I’m sorry I won’t be able to make these shows this year, but I look forward to seeing all my fans in 2016 to help me celebrate 50 years of ‘Pet Sounds’. This will be my final European tour. I hope you all enjoy my movie when it opens in the UK on July 10th, I’ll see you all soon, Best Brian.’
Fans who have purchased tickets to see Wilson, 73, will receive a full refund, ‘Ticket holders are advised to get refunds for the 2015 shows from their point of purchase.’
