Decemberists not coming in December

Oregon-based group cancels tour, no plans to reschedule


Posted at 4:57 pm

The Decemberists, who have an unsettling, pretty song about evil, whiskey-drinking butchers, have sadly cancelled their upcoming Seattle dates.

On their Web site, the Oregon-based group said the rest of “The Long and Short of It” tour has been, well, cut short. They’ve got zero plans of rescheduling, so if you’ve got tickets to the Dec. 8 or 9 shows at the Moore Theater, we feel your pain. Refunds are available, though.

Writes the group: “One of our band members has been ill for a while but we thought all would be well in time for these tour dates. After a couple shows, though, it has become clear that the illness is much worse than we had initially realized. We need to return home so our friend can mend.

“It saddens us to disappoint our fans. We hope everybody understands it is only because of an extreme situation that we had to cancel a tour we've all been excited about doing since the idea was originally hatched.

“Our deepest apologies but at this time no plans are being made to reschedule the dates. Ticket holders should seek refunds at point of purchase.”

It’s all right, Decemberists. And we hope you feel better soon, undisclosed band member. You play good music.
