Velvet Revolver Australian tour cancelled

"VELVET REVOLVER regret to announce they’re unable to perform their

five upcoming concert dates in Australia that were scheduled for February

15-20.  

The cancellation of these shows will allow lead singer Scott Weiland

to continue treatment at a rehab facility which he voluntarily entered

after the band’s February 6 performance in Los Angeles. 

Velvet Revolver deeply apologize to their fans in Australia and thank

them for sticking by the group when various members have relapsed during

the last 

year and a half.  

The band--lead vocalist SCOTT WEILAND, guitarist SLASH, bassist DUFF McKAGAN, drummer MATT SORUM and guitarist DAVE KUSHNER--are on track

to perform at the Dubai Desert Rock Fest in Dubai, UAE on March 8, to be  followed by their UK tour March 15-27. For more information about VELVET REVOLVER, go to www.velvetrevolver.com
