(antiMusic) Following the footsteps of a cancelled U.S. tour, Michael Schenker has pulled the plug on his U.K. run as well, according to a post on guitar legend's Myspace page. Blabbermouth reports that "Schenker and his band were scheduled to perform Friday night (August 3) in Stourbridge, U.K. but ended up calling off the gig after only a handful of songs."
Schenker's Myspace page then carried this announcement: "Due to various mitigating circumstances that have conspired to derail the [U.K.] tour, it has been officially confirmed by a source close to Michael Schenker Group that the remaining tour dates have definitely been cancelled. In truth, it was impossible to carry on with the current situation, a situation that has been caused by a multitude of events beyond the bands control, including Michael's. The band and Michael would personally like to express their gratitude for the patience and understanding shown by the MSG faithful (fans) during this extremely difficult time and would like to say 'Thank you' to ALL those who have expressed their continuing love and support. Be assured, MSG hope to see you ALL on the road in the future."
