But we’re working on getting back down there as fast as we can. I’m just really sorry that we couldn’t do this. I apologize that this happened.”

The band was scheduled to perform in Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria this week but the shows have now been postponed until March 25, March 27 and March 29, respectively. Ticket holders will receive more information about how to confirm they can attend the new dates or obtain a refund.
