It’s concert cancellation season, due to the coronavirus.
While the Red Hot Chili Peppers haven’t yet canceled their June 10 concert in Tel Aviv’s Ganei Yehoshua, it’s more than likely that the show will be postponed or canceled, the band stated on Instagram.
“We are awaiting the advice and direction of each government and health authority,” wrote the band on its Red Hot Summer Tour Instagram account. “It is likely that the remaining shows on the RHS tour will be postponed or cancelled.”
So far, the band has canceled all performances through April 26, adding that ticket holders will receive a full refund.
Dear everyone around the world: WE LOVE YOU. WE ARE THINKING ABOUT YOU. WE MISS YOU. WE MISS PLAYING MUSIC FOR YOU. STAY…
