Midlands-based metal septet Aonia have announced that they're postponing their upcoming European dates with Alwaid following the recent development of illness with one of the members' partners. Alwaid will still be playing the advertised dates, which can be found below. In their announcement, Aonia said:
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.
As stated above, Alwaid will still be playing the European shows. Dates are as follow:
24th July - Rock Classic, Brussels (B)
25th July - De Verlichte Geest, Roselare (B)
26th July - The Pit, Antwerp (B)
27th July - The Sound Dog, Breda (NL)
28th July - Le Midland, Lille (F)
