Blur cancel secret fan club gig at last minute

The fan club gig was meant to be at a secret location in London on Thursday (December 15). The band were due to play to a set of new songs to their friends and fan club members only, but as the management have today announced, the band "ultimately felt they couldn’t do justice to a full show right now, and want to concentrate on writing and recording instead". Apparently, the gig was already sold out.

At present, there are no plans for a re-scheduled gig and people who had bought the tickets can get a full refund.


Update added December 13, 2005:

The following is the official statement from Blur's management concerning the cancellation of the gig:

Dear all,
The friends and fanclub gig scheduled for Thursday this week has now been cancelled. The band are working on new material and ultimately felt that at this point their time would be best spent in the studio. We hope this isn't too disappointing; there will be definitely be more news from Blur over the next few weeks. As always, as soon as anything is confirmed - live dates or new releases - the fanclub will be the first to know.
