US outfit Real Friends have cancelled their upcoming Australian tour dates due to frontman Dan Lambton's health issues. 

The pop punk band were scheduled to arrive in Australia next month in support of Simple Plan's headline run, however in a statement posted to Facebook today, Lambton confirmed the dates, including appearances in the UK and Europe, have been axed.

"Since coming home from recording, I am sober, on new medication, and undergoing an intensive outpatient group therapy program per the recommendation of my therapist," the statement reads.

"We all want to be the best possible versions of ourselves as individuals and in turn be the best possible version of Real Friends.
