Beirut cancel all 2019 tour dates due to "acute laryngitis" diagnosis earlier this year
Beirut have cancelled the rest of their tour dates for 2019 after vocalist Zach Condon was diagnosed with "acute laryngitis" earlier this year.
In July, Beirut cancelled some of their European shows, including their headline set at End Of The Road festival, after Condon's initial diagnosis.
Yesterday (9 September), Beirut announced via their socials that all the remaining 2019 tour dates have also been called off, "Due to Zach receiving a diagnosis of acute laryngitis earlier this Summer and it being a reoccurring issue going into the Fall, the rest of the performances for the band this year are cancelled."
The band added, "Zach has been advised not to sing or tour. Band and crew are very sorry to share that news as we all looked very much forward to each of these shows and to seeing everyone."
