GLENN HUGHES: U.K. Tour Cancelled

October 27, 2004

The previously announced GLENN HUGHES/CHAD SMITH U.K. tour in December has been cancelled, according to a posting at GHPG.net. "We will be rescheduling the dates for February 2005 — as Glenn Hughes solo shows, before we undertake a long Glenn Hughes European tour which will run until early April 2005," the posting continues.

"Unfortunately, Chad has had to pull out due to the recording of the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS' new album running behind schedule.

"Chad is absolutely devastated; he did everything he could to make this tour happen, as well as trying every option available so that we would avoid having to cancel. Sadly, the fact remains that his schedule just does not allow us the opportunity to do the tour with him.

"Glenn, however, will tour the U.K. in February 2005, playing at most of the same venues that were originally booked for December. Please contact the venues for refunds, and as soon as the new dates are confirmed, we will let everyone know through the websites, national advertising, news features in the press, etc.

"For now I can only say sorry, on behalf of Glenn and Chad, for the inconvenience and disappointment that everyone will be feeling, and trust me, no one is more upset at the cancellation of this tour than Chad and Glenn themselves.

"Cancelling shows is an awful business and does nobody any favours, but we will be positive, move onwards and we will see you all in 2005.

"Thank you for your patience, understanding and support."

Chad Smith added in a separate statement: "Regretfully, due to work on the next CHILI PEPPERS album taking much longer than originally anticipated, it is with much sadness that I have to announce that I will not be able to appear on the U.K. December tour with Glenn Hughes.

"I want everyone out there to know that I am incredibly disappointed, and the decision to cancel has not been easy.

"Schedules permitting, Glenn and I will be touring together in the U.K. at some point in the very near future, so I'll be looking forward to seeing you all then."
