More cancellations and postponements. Due to covid-19, Aerosmith have now completely cancelled their twice-postponed European tour, citing “the health, safety and wellbeing of our fans”. The Zombies have delayed their UK dates by a year due to a band member requiring urgent but non-life-threatening surgery. Halestorm have cancelled their European shows, but are continuing the British leg.
Former Status Quo drummer John Coghlan is to retire following a tour that ends at the annual Quo Convention at Butlins in Minehead, in September. Coghlan joined the band in 1962 when they were known as The Spectres, and left in 1981. Along with bassist Alan Lancaster, who died in September last year, he re-joined Rossi and co. for their reunion shows as The Frantic Four.
