Belle And Sebastian Have Cancelled Their North American Tour Due To Stuart Murdoch’s Health Complications

Belle And Sebastian have announced that the North American tour they had planned for this year has been cancelled. Today (January 24), the band’s lead vocalist and guitarist Stuart Murdoch took to social media to reveal the news, citing health reasons.

“While I am hoping that I will improve over the coming months, we felt it would be a safer route to cancel this tour and leave a clear path to recovery, rather than take a risk and have to cancel at the last minute,” said Murdoch.

Back in October of 2022, Murdoch revealed he is living with Myalgic encephalomyelitis, which is also known as chronic fatigue syndrome.

Find Murdoch’s statement below.

“Hi folks,

It’s Stuart from Belle And Sebastian here. We are sorry to have to announce the cancellation of our North American tour for 2023.

As you might be aware my health took a dive around November 2022. While I am hoping that I will improve over the coming months, we felt it would be a safer route to cancel this tour and leave a clear path to recovery, rather than take a risk and have to cancel at the last minute.

We had a great plan in place to release our second LP in six months and hit America up again! While the record made it out, we’re going to have to wait a bit longer until we can tour it.

We apologise again for the inconvenience we have caused you.

Sincerely yours
Stuart.”
