U2 Postpones Second Leg of Vertigo Tour

This news came in last week, but I haven't had much time to post. I am going to post the official report from U2.com on the news. They have postponed the tour due to an immidate family members illness. Some of you might remember that back before the tour even started there was talks of cancelling because The Edge's daughter, Sian, was battling leukemia. Apparently things aren't good right now. My prayers and thoughts go out for his family.

Vertigo '06: Final Dates Postponed.

It is with great regret that tour promoter The Next Adventure announces 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. Postponed 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 effected shows, which are all sold out, are: March 17th & 18th, Ericcson Stadium AUCKLAND; 21st, Queensland Sports & Athletics Centre BRISBANE; 24TH & 25TH, Telstra Dome, MELBOURNE; 28th, AAMI Stadium ADELAIDE; 31st & 1st April, Telstra Stadium, SYDNEY; 4th, Nissan Stadium YOKOHAMA; 8th Aloha Stadium, HONOLULU.

We'll bring you more news on U2.Com as we get it.
