Paul Weller
has revealed that his recent UK tour was cut short after he contracted
coronavirus.
The final
three dates of Weller’s 2021 UK tour – which were due to run from December 3-5
in Norwich, Lincoln and Cambridge – were cancelled on December 3 after “a band
member tested positive for COVID-19”.
“We are
working hard to see if we can reschedule the shows and will share more
information on that as soon as we possibly can,” an official statement read.
“This is
obviously incredibly disappointing news for not just the fans but Paul and the
whole team involved, but we need to follow the guidelines to keep everyone as
safe as possible.”
Weller
subsequently confirmed last week (December 8) that it was he who had tested
positive for COVID-19.
“I was so, so
disappointed to not be able to finish the rest of the shows,” he wrote on
Twitter. “I caught the dreaded COVID so that was that!
“I hope we
can reschedule the shows for next year. This tour was so great, we loved every
show, it was so great to be out again and playing. Great set, band and crowd!
“I hope we
can do it again next year. Let us hope for a better year ahead – Happy
Holidays. Keep the faith, Love PW.”
Weller is set
to resume touring in the UK in March, with dates continuing through to the end
of April.
This week Weller announced new outdoor live dates for summer 2022 in Kent, Lincoln and Bedford.
