Babyshambles cancel tour dates
Published Sunday, Oct 8 2006, 16:59 BST | By David Cribb
Babyshambles have pulled out of the remaining dates on this year's FROG tour.
The band cites the need to give Pete Doherty some time off as the reason, claiming the singer requires the space to "progress" in his drug rehabilitation programme.
The tour was due to visit Glasgow, Nottingham, Manchester and Newcastle, with the Holloways and Noisettes in support.
Babyshambles' record label EMI said in a statement: "The band apologises to fans but hopes that they will understand the importance of Peter being able to best continue his good progress in recovering from addiction. The dates will be rearranged for as soon as possible and all tickets will remain valid."
