Vampire Weekend cancels Seattle-area show
Vampire Weekend's fans turned out for the band's scheduled Sunday night (8/29) performance at Marymoor Park amphitheater in Redmond, WA, but the band canceled the show at the last minute.
The band explained what happened in a statement posted today (8/30) on its website:
"We are incredibly sorry about our last minute cancellation last night in Redmond -- the decision wasn't taken lightly. Ezra had some vocal issues earlier in the day, but felt like he was improving however, while he was warming up just moments prior to our set time he lost his voice completely and was unable to perform. He was then taken to the ER and diagnosed with inflamed vocal cords and the doctor ordered him to not perform for 48 hours. Even so, we still wanted to perform but by that point it was clear that any performance we could give would have been essentially instrumental and nowhere close to what we or the audience was expecting.We know you all had to wait around for the announcement, and many of you came a long way to be there, and again -- we truly apologize.
The tour is scheduled to resume tomorrow night (8/31) in Troutdale, OR.
