Alkaline Trio have cancelled their UK tour. The shows were scrapped due to Matt Skiba’s medical issues.

The band said the following:

“We are immensely sorry but we must cancel our dates in England, including tonight’s show in Birmingham, due to medical issues Matt has been suffering from that have worsened. He’s gonna be okay but needs to be treated stateside as soon as possible. We will be back healthier and stronger! Refunds are available at the point of purchase.”

Skiba added:

“Love y’all so much. Thank you to my beautiful bandmates and crew, the promoters and our label and teams here that have been so kind and understanding. Thank you to THE FANS and all my homies for reaching out. I love all of you so much and we’ll be back asap to make these shows up to you.❣️”

He also shared a video statement:

“Hey guys, it’s your friend Matt reporting from London Heathrow. I just wanted to say thank you for all the love and support. It means the world to me. We have the best fans in the world. You guys deserve a better show than I can throw right now. I got numbness in my feet, numbness in my hands. As you can tell, I’m losing my voice, so I can’t really talk, walk, play, or sing. But I’m okay. I’m just a little, little tuned up. But, um, gonna go home and get looked at, and we’ll be back as soon as we can. Yeah, thanks so much for being so understanding and I’ll see you soon.”
