Letter from Ronan and Mark of VNV Nation:
Due to an unexpected illness we have, reluctantly, had to cancel our Vancouver show. Mark and I would like to say how very sorry we are about this. We know that this news will upset people who have been looking forward to the show but we want to assure all those who were coming to the show that we would never consider anything like this unless the circumstances were such that we had no other option. While we cannot give specifics, an important member of the crew requires medical attention at a hospital and it would not be possible to leave him here while this happens. Either another member of crew or the tour manager would have to stay behind with him but the production would suffer considerably to the point that it would not be possible to do a show. We have debated all day about options and come to the decision that the only option would be to reschedule the Vancouver show to the soonest possible date available.
Again, Mark and I want to express how sorry we are that this unforeseen situation has resulted in the Vancouver date being cancelled.
Before the rumor mill starts, we want to assure you that this does not and will not affect any other shows.
For those people who purchased tickets to Vancouver we would like to extend the following offer: Come to the Seattle show, show proof of purchase for the Vancouver show and Photo ID to Jim at the merchandise booth and we will give you a free T-shirt or CD of Matter and Form for your troubles.
Thank you all for understanding.
Sincerely,
Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson
