Animal Collective Cancels Remainder Of North American Tour

animal collective Animal Collective Cancels Remainder Of North American Tour

Taking a cue from Morrissey, Animal Collective has elected to cancel a clutch dates from the remainder of their North American tour in March, though their reasons for doing so are a little less overwhelmingly dire than those of the Moz: head Animal Avey Tare has strep throat.

More specifically, Tare has an “intense case of strep throat” that simply “wasn’t diagnosed soon enough” for the singer and musician to be able “to kick this in the right amount of time,” according to The AV Club. And so, the rest of their North American tour—a week’s worth of dates throughout March—have been given the axe. The band will then launch its European tour in May.
