Aonia Cancels Upcoming July Tour Dates

Aonia just issued the following message online about cancelling upcoming European tour dates slated for July:

"With heavy hearts, we must announce that we have to postpone the planned European tour this July with our good friends Alwaid.

"Sadly, the partner of one of our members has been diagnosed with a cancerous lymphoma. The doctors have begun treatment, and - as anyone who has undergone chemotherapy can attest - the side effects have left them extremely weak and ill.

"Our member feels unable to leave the country while their partner is so ill, a decision which we all agree with 100%. We also feel that embarking on our first foray into Europe with one member missing would be the wrong thing to do – and so, the only right thing to do in this circumstance is to withdraw.

"Alwaid and their support acts will still be appearing at the shows as planned, and we are extremely grateful to Alwaid for the support and understanding that they have shown. We thank you in advance, our friends and fans – the Aonia family – for your support while we help our bandmate through this horrible time."

If you missed it, a recently uploaded tour video documentary from the band's last trek with Alwaid can still be seen here.
