Black Peaks have been forced to postpone their upcoming UK tour

Black Peaks have been forced to postpone their upcoming UK tour.

The band were set to hit the road this month in support of their latest album 'All That Divides', but unfortunately frontman Will Gardner is unwell and has to undergo emergency surgery.

They explain: "On Sunday our brother Will rang us to tell us that following a pre-tour check up, his doctor informed him the initial infection which led to his near-death experience earlier this year had returned. The result was that he has had to be scheduled for emergency surgery, and will be out of action for at least 6 weeks.

"This is not only terrible and frightening news on a personal level, it obviously overlaps with the entirety of our upcoming UK and Europe headline tour."

"To have this news just before the tour starting is devastating and we’re all still processing this," they add. "We hope you all appreciate this was not an easy decision to make, and can only thank you for your continued support and understanding."
