Andrew McMahon Cancels Final Fun. Tour Dates
Due to a family emergency, Andrew McMahon has dropped off the last few dates of the fun. tour. Read his statement about the situation below.
Dear Friends and Fans,
I regret to announce that I will not be able to finish out the remaining shows of the Fun. tour due to a family emergency. I want to assuage any concerns that this cancellation is a result of my own personal health, as it is not. I cannot convey how disappointing this is for me and the band, but it is important for me to be at home at this time. I thank you for your support and understanding.
