Biffy Clyro not playing Weekend 2?

[TheClaw]

I was at their set that was shortened due to technical issues, and now it looks like they aren't on the schedule for Weekend 2. I wonder whose decision that was.

Sucks either way. They were my #1 act last weekend.

From a Warner email:

BIFFY CLYRO FORCED TO CANCEL REMAINING NORTH AMERICAN SHOWS
Biffy Clyro have today been forced to cut short their North American tour and return to the UK immediately; Simon Neil has been struggling with a serious respiratory problem on the shows, including two nights supporting Muse at Madison Square Garden on Monday and Tuesday of this week, and was advised by doctors that he was endangering his long term health if he chose to continue performing on this run. Thus, further dates with Muse across the US and Canada, plus a second weekend performance at the Coachella Festival this coming Saturday, have now been cancelled.



The band wish to express how sorry they are that they aren't able to carry out the full run of shows, and hope to confirm a new run of North American shows shortly. All UK and European dates this Summer should, however, remain unaffected.



Biffy have been out on tour supporting their new double album Opposites, which gave the band their first ever UK No1 in early February. Since the release, the band have been on an almost uninterrupted run of arena shows including a triumphant UK tour that culminated at the O2 in London last week.

They'll be gutted. If ever a UK band was ready to be accepted into the hearts of US fans - it's The Biff.

Great set last week
