Johnny Marr Cancels U.S. Tour Due to Family Illness — rollingstone.com

Johnny Marr has canceled the remaining scheduled U.S. tour dates of his 2014 tour. A statement on the former Smiths guitarist's website cites a serious, close family illness. "I'm really disappointed to not be able to play the shows," Marr wrote in a statement. "The touring has been so enjoyable for me and the band, and the audiences have been great everywhere. If it was about just me being unwell I would've found a way to continue as I did when I broke my hand earlier in the year, but to not be there for one of my family is not right. Thank you to everyone for the kind messages. See you soon."
