Avicii Bows Out Of Ultra Festival With Stomach Pains

Avicii checked in with fans on his Facebook with the following message:

“I’m really sorry but as some of you have already heard, I will not be playing Ultra Festival this weekend.
My fans know that I have had issues in the past with my stomach and pancreatitis… I woke up on Wednesday morning with serious pain but I flew to Miami anyway, hoping that it would go away. The pain was still there when I landed so I went straight to hospital. I was treated and left later that night.
Unfortunately, the pain came back yesterday afternoon and I returned to the hospital where they admitted me to stay overnight.
My doctors have decided to operate and remove my gall bladder tomorrow morning.
It’s a routine procedure and all going well, I expect to be fully recovered and back on my feet in time for my US True Tour.
Thanks for your concern everyone, it means a lot to me!”
- From Avicii

Charli XCX To Support Paramore On UK Tour

21-year-old Charlotte Aitchison, aka Charli XCX, is set to hit the road with Paramore on their UK arena headline tour, which kicks off in September. This means her scheduled North American fall headline tour will be postponed until the end of October/November, 2013.

“I’m very happy to have been asked to support Paramore on their UK tour,” Charli said. “I’ve never really done shows in the UK outside of London before so it’s going to be something different and kind of scary for me. Of course I am really, truly so so sorry to everyone who got tickets to my US shows, as now I will have to reschedule those dates and I hate the fact that I will have let lots of people down. It’s weird, I always feel strangely at home when I play shows in America and the fans I have out there are literally the best, most killer fans in the world. I’m upset that you guys are going to be disappointed and annoyed at me, as I really did have big things planned for this tour, so it’s very sad. I’m working really hard to reschedule the dates right now and all I can promise you is that the shows will be even bigger and better than anything I’ve ever done before.”

Charli XCX Tour Dates:
*9/20-9/28 supporting Paramore except
Aug. 25 – Reading, UK at Reading Festival
Sept. 20 – Manchester, UK at Manchester MEN Arena
Sept. 21 – Cardiff, UK at Cardiff Arena
Sept. 3 – Birmingham, UK at Birmingham LG Arena
Sept. 24 – Nottingham, UK at Nottingham Capital FM Arena
