Goth rock legends Bauhaus have cancelled their upcoming US tour after frontman Peter Murphy entered into rehab. The band’s tour was due to start at the 2500-capacity History Club in Toronto on September 6. Ticket holders have been asked to contact point of purchase to obtain refunds.

In a statement confirming the cancellation, the band said, “Following a string of critically-hailed reunion shows across continents, Peter Murphy will be entering a rehabilitation facility to attend to his health and well-being.”

Details of Murphy’s condition have not been announced.

In 2019 Murphy suffered a heart attack prior to a show in New York, becoming unwell after complaining of a shortness of breath. The singer had two stents placed in his right coronary artery, but was later able to report, “Following my recent episode in New York City with my heart attack and being admitted into Lenox Hill Hospital and seeing myself go through the rigours of intensive care, I am very happy to say that I have made a full recovery.”
