Placebo's Brian Molko Falls Ill, Cancels North American Tour

"Did you forget to take your Meds?"

Sad news, friends. Placebo's had to cancel the North American leg of their Fall Tour. Singer Brian Molko is recovering from a virus he picked up while performing in Asia, which led to his collapse on stage in Osaka at the Summer Sonic Festival.

"This is pretty devastating for everyone - we've only ever canceled three shows in Placebo's 14-year history, however Brian's health is paramount," the band's management said in a statement.

"Our sincere apologies go out to Placebo's loyal American fans who have waited a long time to see the band. We will try and do everything to rearrange the dates as soon as possible."

Fortunately, all tickets are refundable at the point of purchase.
