Motorhead Cancel Even More Shows

by Roger Wink, VVN Music on September 7, 2015

in Live,News

Motorhead have been forced to cancel two more shows, putting the running tally at five, due to Lemmy Kilmister’s altitude sickness…or at least that is what we are being told.

Lemmy has had a number of medical problems over the last couple of years but the latest incident started with his having to stop a show after four songs in Salt Lake City followed by the cancellation of their Denver show and the ending of their San Antonio show after three songs.

Late last week, the band once again cancelled dates, this time in Dallas and Houston, due to Lemmy’s ongoing problems. The announcement was made on Facebook:

Regrettably Motörhead have had to cancel their Dallas and Houston appearances. Saxon will still be playing in each city (please check local media for up-to-date venue information). Lemmy fully intends to resume touring duties as, and when, his doctors give him the all-clear.

STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES, and as always, THANK YOU for your support, understanding and good wishes.

Their next shows are scheduled for Tuesday in St. Louis and Wednesday in Indianapolis.
