Sleater-Kinney began a run of East Coast / Midwest dates last week, but unfortunately had to cancel Wednesday’s Wilmington’s show and Thursday’s New Haven show due to illness in the band. This morning the band announced that the remainder of their East Coast dates — Buffalo (8/1), Montreal (8/2) and Toronto (8/3) — have been canceled as well, as Carrie Brownstein recovers from a chest infection.
“Hey everyone. It’s with deep sadness and regret that we must cancel the next few shows,” Carrie wrote on Sleater-Kinney’s Instagram. “I have a chest infection that is making singing/performing difficult, an infection my doctor is worried will worsen and progress unless I stop touring and take the time to rest and recover. The plan is to resume as scheduled in Portland on August 7th.”
Brownstein continues: “Apologies to my loyal bandmates, our tireless crew, and the best fans in the world, who travel from just down the road to across state lines to see us. As I said the other night in Pittsburgh, despite the rough and ragged nature of tour, when you step on stage, it’s all worth it, and you remember why you do this. Occasionally, however, one has to step back momentarily, as those future moments on stage—or any future moments, really—are never guaranteed and cannot be taken for granted.”
Brownstein notes that there are no rescheduled dates at this time “but we will update you if that changes.”
