Decemberists Shows CANCELLED

This might be old news for some (old = written up on Pitchfork yesterday), but the Decemberists have canceled the remaining dates of their The Long and Short of It tour. This includes the dates scheduled for Spreckels Theater in San Diego, for which I had such good seats ๐Ÿ™

Official email from the band:

“With much regret the Decemberists have cancelled the remainder of ‘The Long and Short of It’ tour.

“One of our band members has been ill for a while but we thought all would be well in time for these tour dates. After a couple shows, though, it has become clear that the illness is much worse than we had initially realized. We need to return home so our friend can mend.

“It saddens us to disappoint our fans. We hope everybody understands it is only because of an extreme situation that we had to cancel a tour we’ve all been excited about doing since the idea was originally hatched.

“Our deepest apologies but at this time no plans are being made to reschedule the dates. Ticket holders should seek refunds at point of purchase.”

Sad news, indeed. But the good news is, I’ve already received an email saying that the ticket charges were refunded to my credit card. Easiest ticket refund EVER.
