DENVER — The Black Keys have canceled a planned concert tour of North America.
The rock duo abruptly canceled their 31-date "International Players" concert tour on Saturday. The tour was scheduled to begin in September in Oklahoma.
Included in the cancellations is a planned Denver concert stop at Ball Arena on Tuesday, Sept. 24.
Tickets will be refunded within 14-21 days, Ticketmaster said.
“The band wants to assure everyone that Dan & Patrick are alive and well,” The Black Keys posted to social media.
“Following the recent run of shows in the UK & Europe, including stops at iconic venues like Brixton Academy and the Zenith in Paris, we have decided to make some changes to the North American leg of the International Players Tour that will enable us to offer a similarly exciting, intimate experience for both fans and the band, and will be announcing a revised set of dates shortly.
"Everyone who had purchased tickets and/or VIP to the initial tour dates will be fully refunded - and when the new plans are announced, will be the first to be able to buy tickets," the band said.
"Thank you for your understanding and apologies for the surprise change… We’re pretty sure everyone is going to be excited when you see what we have in mind though, and look forward to seeing everyone soon."
